Road Trip
Over the holidays, I went "home" to Atlanta and spent some extended time with my extended family. As with all long road trips, some of it was boring and some of it was entertaining. I'll share a little of the entertaining bits.
This is the infamous peach in Gaffney, South Carolina. I think it's a water tower. Sure looks like one. Didn't we have glorious weather for driving?There was a building I wish I'd photographed. It was a metal warehouse type building with large lettering on it, easily legible from the interstate. It said "Richard Simmons Drilling". Please, someone pass the brain bleach. It really does exist, you can Google it if you don't believe me.
One of the more amusing place names we saw was at Fancy Gap, Virginia. We enjoyed fantastic views from the interstate along this portion of the trip.We also went past Bland, Virginia but in attempting to photograph that exit sign we didn't time things well and ended up with a snapshot of grass alongside the interstate. Bummer.

How Fun! I love road trips
One of my favorite roadside signs is outside of Ponder, Texas.
My wife and I laughed at it for years whenever we saw the words "Ponder Next Exit".
Patti, I agree - road trips are great. You get to see so much.
Ernest, that's a great story!
Did you go to the GA Aquarium? It sounds like a cool place.
Brain bleach! ROFL!
I'm stealin' that.
Welcome home, Leslie, and a happy and blessed new year to you and your family. Glad to hear you had what sounds like a fun vacation. I've missed hearing what's happening at your place! How did you care for your livestock while you were away? We've pretty much resigned ourselves to not going on more than a day trip unless we can convince someone experienced to stay over. Our latest is that the terrorist guineas are on the loose attacking the roosters. I have a feeling they'll be coming for dinner soon....and not as guests.
FC, nope, we didn't make it to the aquarium. Our time was chock full of family. Glad you like the brain bleach phrase - I stole that one from my husband :)
Emily thanks - it's good to be getting back into a routine. My husband volunteered to stay home with the livestock while I visited my family. Squealing southern women make him break out in hives after a couple of hours. It was a sacrifice he was happy to make.
Does that peach make anyone else think of J-LO?
... maybe it's just the angle.
FC, I won't tell you what my husband says about it. This is a family website.
Hi there! We are thinking of doing the same thing...the move to WV but from Tampa. I am from Newnan GA but some how ended up down here in Florida. Huntington or Charlston areaa are calling and we are going to start looking in May. Nice to know it can be done.
Take care and stay warm,
