Relaxing with my mom!
It may be pretty quiet around The Soda Stand for the next few days. I’m in Georgia, visiting my mom, brother, SIL and nephews. I arrived yesterday early evening around 6pm.
It took me exactly 8 hours to drive 500 miles. This included all the stops for gas, potty breaks for me and my girl Josie and traffic situations.
I found the traffic in Birmingham to be the worst slow down, but once I got passed that, it went pretty smoothly. I got real sleepy around Athens, AL and almost took a nap in the Chevron parking lot. But then I noticed some creepy rednecks hanging around and I didn’t feel comfy doing that.
I couldn’t find a Starbucks for the life of me, so I ended up going to a McDonald’s and getting a large, vanilla latte McCafe thing. It was pretty mcgood and I’ll try them again. A lot cheaper than Starbucks too.
Chloe has been a pill since I got here. I forgot how energetic the little girl really was. She was hesitant when she first saw me, but then it seems her memory of who I am came rushing back and she has not left me alone since.
I’ve enjoyed the morning watching her and Josie play, wrestle and chase each other around mom’s apartment. Very cute!
I’m so happy to be here right now. My batteries needed a recharging with the family in a very bad way and I’m very grateful I finally have the vacation days to take so I could come down here.
Until next time…
