I Don't Wanna Go Home..............
Well, as I write this, I am sitting on my couch--kleenexes in hand---not in the RV--but back home in Weaver-Vegas. Our trip ended on Sat., March 1--a mighty sad day indeed. I've not blogged since we left Sarasota/Bradenton. Depression is just around the corner. As we made our way north, I could feel the "strings" of WV pulling my attention away from the warm sunshine state & tightening around my neck as we got closer & closer to home. Please don't misunderstand. I love Weaverville & the life we have here. But you have to understand that this RV adventure was in the making for the last 5 years--as we went from one RV dealership to another & researched & researched & researched everything single freakin' thing that could be researched about RV's. So when we finally bit the bullet & bought the rig, it was a relief (to me,--though TR immediately began the "did we do the right thing?" thing. Well, I can tell you truthfully------------we DID THE RIGHT THING!! We've had so much fun. Time flew. Wind blew. No words of hate. Sex was great, blah, blah, blah. Ya'll are probably sick of my rhymes & musings by now, so I'll get on with it.........
While we were in Sarasota, we had dinner with Doug D. & that was a treat. We went to the John & Mabel Ringling Circus & Modern Art Museum. Wow, what a complex. That was probably the most "cultural" thing we did---even rednecks need a little taste every now & then. Was well worth the time, even though it cut in on my "beach" time. Then we puttered up to Crystal River & saw Connie & Mike. Was great to see them & after traveling around FL for a month, I understand why they choose to live part-time there. Weaverville in the summer & warm winters in Fl=a great combo.
We left there & drove 400 mi. to Stone Mtn., Ga & stayed in the campground on the lake. Was very nice & I'd recommend it for a long weekend. Then we drove on home via the Dillard House in GA where we added some gross weight (literally) to the RV scales. Luckily we didn't pass a weigh station. We've have had to pay a huge fine.
So that's it. It's over----------for now. It was everything we'd hoped it would be--& probably a lot more! I hope I've given you a "taste" of life on the road-------Try it--you'll like it!! I'll just leave singing: "On the road again, I just can't wait to get on the road again..................................
