Vacation!!!

I was offline from March 20th through April 8th as I took a road trip with a friend.

If you are interested, or just bored, here's a timeline of the places we went.  We hit 13 states in 14 days.  What a whirlwind!

 We left Syracuase and traveled down the east coast stopping in Winchester, VA then hitting Emerald Isle, NC to visit some relatives.  

We left there and made our way down to Jeckyll  Island, GA.  We loved it there so we stayed a few days and enjoyed the slow pace of the island.  We enjoyed some great food, a trolley tour, the pool at our hotel, and the beautiful beach of course!

After that we headed to Pensacola Beach, FL where we rented a condo for a week's stay.  It was wonderful.  We were right next to the beach.  The weather was beautiful the whole time we were there. 

 

The second day at the beach I just sat and stitched, covered head to toe, trying not to get any more sunburnt than I was.  And that was with 70 SPF sun block.  Lol!  I'd show you the picture of my friend sitting right next to me in her bathing suit enjoying the sun, but she would kill me.

And, where was Dolly?  Roughing it at my daughter's house where her two Australian Cattle Dogs watched over her and catered to her every whim.  She's the boss even though they outweigh her.

I did get a little stitching done... I still had to finish the April Monthly Weigh-in from Stitching with the Housewives.  It's one of the only ones I didn't do last year.

In Pensacola we ate at a great place.  If you get the chance to go there, I highly recommend it.  It is called The Five Sisters Blues Cafe. Best food of the entire trip!

We hit the road again, hitting Alabama, Georgia, on our way to Nashville, TN.  We spent the night there and toured the next day.  It was a little scary because of all the tornadoes right around us that night, but we were lucky and left before the worst weather hit.

We passed through Kentucky stopping at the very edge of Ohio to take a quick walk through the "Ark Experience".  It's a life size reproduction of Noah's Ark.  Pretty cool.

We were off again!  We left Kentucky and headed for Ohio.  Our first stop was in Cincinnati at Keepsakes!  I was so excited.  I'll tell you about that in another post.
