Moving Day

This morning was fairly laid back. This was the last day of the conference. I just hung around the room most of the morning and got packed. Don was finished and back to the room about 11:45. He hurried and changed and headed to the airport with a couple of folks from the conference to get the rental car. I hung out at the river front. It didn't take him very long and we were soon on out way to another hotel for the weekend. The new hotel is on the other end of the historic district. It is really nice. The ceiling in our room is 12' to 14' tall. It is a bit overwhelming when you walk in the room.

We walked around the historic district a little. We went to the railroad roundhouse and I imagined what it would have been like in the 1940s. I picked that time because my folks met at a railroad rooming house. It was pretty hot so we headed back to the hotel to talk to the concierge. I wanted to do a haunted house tour but they were all booked for tonight BUT we made reservations for tomorrow.

We also plan on going to Tybee Island tomorrow so we decided to ride over this afternoon and check it out and then have some dinner there. Miley Cyrus is filming a movie there right now but we didn't see her. We did stop and buy some beach towels for tomorrow. The Island isn't that big so we kept driving past the same places (reliving the past) Since we planned to eat dinner there we checked places on the GPS. Most the places we drove by were so busy there were no parking places. Don saw a place on the GPS that said it was only 8 miles but that must have been by boat as in reality it was 45 miles and took 1 1/2 hours to drive. We drove to Hilton Head South Carolina. We had a pleasant drive though. We laughed as we had no idea where we were going or what kind of place it was. We said if push comes to shove we would just eat at Wendys. On the drive we had to pay a toll. This added to the story. Then we turned on the road where the selected restaurant was and it had a guard at a gate and he was collecting $5.oo to get in. However if you were a resident of the subdivision, you could get in free. We decided at that point to just pick one of the places right by there. And no it wasn't Wendys or a fast food restaurant. The place we selected had great food and we enjoyed the adventure. I got the impression the town was very posh as even the fast food places looked like expensive restaurants with elegant signs. But it was a fun adventure and I am so glad we did it. I wouldn't trade it. It was one of those times that makes a great story and even better memory.

Now it is late and time for bed.
