The kids got up shortly after and we sat and enjoyed the sunshine.
The we took a ride to Disney Market Place. A big outside mall but no dogs were allowed. So Casey and me sat on a bench while the rest of the guys shopped for a while. Joyce came out shortly after but the kids wanted to stay so Joyce and I left the kids to do their thing and we picked them up a couple of hours later.
Casey loves the attention.
Ahh, Palm trees!!
Crossing the Georgia line.
We stopped at the rest area in Georgia and the kids got out with their jackets on. Once that warm air hit them, the jackets came off.
The rest area was huge and Jess wanted to drive the coach, so I let her drive for the length of the rest area. She did really good, and seemed to enjoy the chance to try driving something like this.
We took a side trip to What-A-Burger so the kids could try a different burger place.
The temperature was 73 degrees so the guys sat on the curb for lunch. Working on their tans!
Tomorrow is a laid back day, we don't want to go to Disney on New Years eve so we are washing the coach and Jeep then do some site seeing.
Boy, am I glad that we are out of here!
Day one was a ten hour drive that included two big traffic jambs that ate up the clock. But as you can see, Jess had a good time the first day.
We finally made it to Hagerstown and our first Walmart camp. This is Jess and Zach. I took this pic just before we started out on our 2nd day.
Day two was another long day but everyone was having a good time, here's Casey watching the traffic.
And here's Zach having a good time. Notice how he's checking out the scenery on his first trip to Disney.
Oh yea here's Jess, other than seeing a cow or two she spent most of the day surfing the web. What did we do before electronic devices.
Coming down through the Carolina's the views were really nice.
Casey loves to pick up sticks and there were a lot that blew off the trees during the storm.
Our grand daughters, Megan, Jess and her boy friend Zach came over last night and made this snowman at our front door. Jess and Zach are coming with us to Florida and Disney. Zach has never been to Disney so this should be a real treat for him. I will introduce you to the kids as we hit the road
Tomorrow will be a busy day of getting up at 6:00 am and a long day of driving. See you at Walmart Hagerstown, Md.If we start to get any real buildup, I will move the coach to the driveway to insure we can get out of here in another week.
This seems to be their normal route because we get them often.
As they came closer Casey didn't know what to make of them.
She just watched as they passed by and never barked.
The Museum is in here.
Is this where the Patriots put their bad players?
These gates open out to the playing field.
As we stepped off the elevator, this was the first item I spotted.

December 12, 1982....... Mark Henderson a prisoner on work release, had the job of keeping the yard lines clear of snow during the Pats Miami game. Before Smith, the Patriots kicker tried for a field goal, Mr. Henderson was asked to clear a spot for the kick. The kick was successful and gave the Patriots the 3-0 win against Miami.
Here it is!
Hum......Joyce in the huddle!

Three Super Bowl wins in four years. Joyce got to touch two of the three trophies because she was at the stadium when the players returned from their Super Bowl win with their trophy in hand.
This was really cool, a wedding party was outside the gate to the playing field doing shots of them in play formation.
