Oh yeah, I suppose you are wondering about Bob too. He seemed to sleep a lot during the day and then of course wanted to party at night.

Bob and I enjoy a quiet discussion over dinner.

It was a bit hard to keep Bob out of the hot tub. Bigdog picks up some pointers from Bob.

And then Bob and I managed to squeeze in a sauna (a little sponge humor for Bob there, the guy is a million laughs)

I wasn't wondering about Bob. I looked up sybaritic.

Now I think Bigdog is even more of a sweetheart (if that's even possible) since he's been taking road trip photos for the rest of us. Give him a big smooch for me!

That bison looks pretty tame lying there, but I sure wouldn't want to meet him up close! Glad you and Bigdog had a great trip and thank you for sharing your pictures.

Those are some great pictures, Juju. What a beautiful part of the country!

Do sponges sweat in a sauna?

I loved your pictures JuJu and to hear about your trip. It took me down memory lane of my trip that I took there when I was around 20. I went and looked though my old photo's and it was nice to relive being there again.

It is a place that I'm going to have to take LD to very soon. Thanks for bringing back such happy memories.

Here's a picture of me standing by the lower falls.

Here is an update on the Road Trip of Patsy,
TnTitanFan :)

Had a delightful phone call from Patsy and as promised, here is her update.

They are taking a trip along the Atlantic Coast (yes, they are keeping an eye out for the hurricane)

Started in Macon, George, then went to Hazelhurst Georgia, next Waycross Georgia and got to see that edge of the Okefenochee Swamp.

Then hit St Marys Georgia, the southernmost point on the Georgia coast. Went up the coast to Savannah, which was quite enjoyable and is a planned city, based upon a series of Squares. Patsy says it is really beautiful and all of the original squares will be res\tored after the lease runs out on a certain parking garage.

The greatly enjoyed a "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" tour, despite heavy rains. The tour included cemetaries.

They also took a more traditional city tour and this included a lunch at a restaurant run by
the Lady from the Food Network, and her son.

They actually had a lovely, sunny day for their trip to Hilton Head, didn't stay there but enjoyed the place and returned to the mainland.

They saw 300 year old homes in Beaufort, which Patsy had to learn is pronouced BEWfort, contrary to what one might think from the spelling. There were more great cemetaries to explore and since this is a seacoast area, the toumbs are raised above ground. During the Civil War, some of these raised tombs did double duty as operating tables.

Then they went to Charleston, where they are right now.

They plan to go inland tomorrow to Columbia, where they will visit the Zoo..

On Patsy's trips they always try to include at least one old house, one cave and one zoo).

They'll be inland until Wednesday, at which point they hope to know where the hurricane will hit and if possible they will head back to the coast, to Myrtle Beach and hope to meet up with TVCH's
Knightpatti (who happens to be on the Pirate's Booty team for the Survivor deadpool game)

So, Patsy signed off for now. It was great "meeting" her over the phone.

Thanks for Tnt's update Seamonkey! I've been to Savannah and know about the Squares too! And I've read my signed copy of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil which I bought while in Savannah. I could go on and on, but once again, I hijack a thread and go OT...opps!

I'm really enjoying reading about all the TVCH road trips, and the pictures are great!

Has anyone here ever gone to the Big E in West Springfield, MA? We're considering going next weekend and wonder if it's as much fun as it looks in the brochure, and if there are any special not-to-be-missed exhibits? (If this is off-topic, you can answer in my folder. Thanks!)

Hmmmm....sounds intriguing! Send me some details and I'll consider flying out. I've been building up the muscles in my arms and I'm pretty sure I can do the flapping with some helpful tail winds!

Hmmm... I happen to be free that day. Um, is it only open to Texas members?

Well, Karuuna, since you have your hand out and we're gracious folk here in Texas, you'd be most welcome to attend as well.

Ok, we'd love to have you join us and anyone else whether from Texas or not are welcome.

Urgrace

Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 01:52 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Heck no! Anyone who wants to trek over here is welcome!

(If you want bring your ds and come a day early for the county fair too!)

Karuuna

Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 02:23 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
yay! I can go to Texas! Woo hoo! Nothing like shamelessly asking for an invite!

Grace, that sounds so fun, but my ds can't make it, and he has a football game Sat am that mom just can't miss, so I won't be able to get there till Sat afternoon. Will the county fair still be going on Sunday? I can bring my best cowboy boots....
