I love going places with my mom. It is always an adventure of some kind. It is not because she does anything particularly exciting, it is you have no idea how many places you may end up before you reach the final destination. Today, our four hour trip from Talking Rock, Georgia to Augusta Georgia took us about six hours. We had some great stops though.
Our first stop was at the Animal Clinic where my brother practices veterinary medicine. From there we spent an hour and a half in Costco. We had great fun there, we picked out a couple cute little baby outfits for my granddaughter who is due in February. Right after Costco was a quick visit to Steak and Shake. I skipped the shake and watched with envy as my mother and daughter drank theirs. On the South side of Atlanta, on I-20, we stopped at an official rest area, traveled a bit more and made it all the way to the Flying J. At the Flying J I bought myself a special $.50 souvenir key chain. It has a section where the words “Love Jesus” flash, and it is completely solar powered.
When we finally made it to my parents house, I managed to stay awake 30 to 45 minutes, then I needed to get some sleep. I am enjoying all this extra sleep. It has been years since I have spent so much time in bed.
