We're on the road. Barbie waits in the car while we shop for dinner at the Giant supermarket somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Back in the car, the miles are melting away and Barbie thrills to the wind in her hair:
Catching the rays and some rest at Hayne and Georgie's place on St. Simons Island, Georgia
On our way to Florida crossing the sunshine state, we're starving so we stop at Sonny's BBQ. Barbie approves!
At last, the roadtrip feels like a real vacation. We are enjoying the lovely pool at Kate and Phil's - of course, we couldn't actually take a swim because Kate and Phil were busy pouring in doses of acid to correct the ph level and always scraping, scraping, scraping something or other off the bottom. But I don't think Barbie minded:
From Florida, we're on our way to Atlanta to visit family. We make Motel 6 in Tucker our home away from home and Barbie is (and all of us are) soon off to dreamland.
Time to chill with Sam and the boys - the kids playing video games, Sam listening to jazz, and Barbie taking it all in.
Next stop, Etowah, NC, suburb of Asheville, and a lovely visit with the Waycaster clan. Ella had to stay behind with her BFF, Rex (she didn't seem to mind that either)...
but Barbie joined us for a lovely morning at the North Carolina Arboretum:
On the way home, another Motel 6. Barbie asks when this damn roadtrip will finally end (don't let that smile fool you; this girl's ready for her own damn bed):
Home sweet home!
