Final leg of the trip to NC

We had a good week in SC, a little cool but we did manage to walk a little. The day before the trip I got tangled up in pollen putting in the awnings, etc.
We normally have coffee before we hit the road, but I really wanted a cheese, ham and egg sandwich. Yep it was good, then I took the rest of the umbilical cords loose, that tie us down (water, elec & sewer). Sherry secured the loose stuff in the cabin, we hooked the van up to tow and pulled out of the woods for the Interstate. The trip on to Belmont is all interstate until we reach our exit. Then it isn’t but a couple miles to our resting place.
Leaving the park out in the woods.

Then just on I-95 we hit a barrier of tail lights. See in front and in my mirror. Someone’s day is ruined. Sherry got a quick shot of the single car wreck off in the woods wheels toward us.

We took I-95 to I-26 It is a pretty drive. we go from what SC calls the ‘Low country’ to their hilly section. I fuss with the folks who want the signs taken down, but they definitely help travelers looking for food or fuel.

This is a section of I-26 just before  Columbia, SC note the beautiful Cedars followed by the Bradford Pear in full bloom, beautiful. in the center medium.

Sherry had a lot of the family over. For carry in chicken from Bo-Jangles.
We reached our destination, our RV port.

We had Shirl, Mark, Sherece, Stella, Luke, Lauren, Stephen and Jennifer over for Chicken.
We will be here, behind the house where our son is living. We pay the utilities so he doesn’t mind seeing us home.  He also gets some of mamas home-cooked meals while we are here.
This has become home, we like the RV port and car port for our van. So we are home, or as near as we get to a home.
Thanks for coming this way.

PS:
It is always good to see Family and friends. We have been away 5-6 months, it is nice to be back for a few weeks.

Take care...

I remember cars with rumble seats...never got to cuddle in one thought ;D

so happy you're as near to home as you can get...time to visit family and friends...and that granddaughter is adorable

I-95 is my friend...at least to Virginia :) that and I-10...loved to drive on both of these Interstates. Hope no one killed or injured beyond repair in that wreck...Don and saw one...maybe in GA or SC...a car carrier, one of the hugh ones they use today, had driven off into the boonies...traffic was backed up for miles...we had a CB then so we got to listen to all the 18 wheeler chatter up and down the Interstate

happy Easter to you and Sherry and your family

I am so glad you made it home safely. I always forget so I am going to say this now, your header picture is beautiful. The pictures you took on the way home are some pretty scenery. That little girl is a doll. Sherry looks so proud and she has a right to be.
