Driving from CT
Well its been about a week since I last posted. Figures, I never have been good
at journals or diaries or whatever. I was busy at work this past week but had a
seminar on Friday so that was mindless entertainment. Right after the seminar I
went to the airport to fly to Conneticut to meet my husband, D. He flew up there
eariler in the week in order to spend some time with family. His Uncle is
gravely ill. He got the opportunity to see him before he passes away and spend
time with his Aunt and cousins, his father, his mother, his brother and
grandmother. His grandmother is 94. He was also there to drive the truck we purchased from his brother back to Florida. I flew to meet him and meet his family and to keep him company while driving the truck back. I had met his mother, father, brother, Aunt and one cousin the weekend of our wedding. I got to meet his grandmother and other cousins, Uncles and Aunts this weekend. That was really cool. I got to see the house he grew up in and the area he grew up in.
On Sunday morning, we got up and started driving back to Florida. We left at 5:45 a.m. in the truck we bought from his brother. We had decided ahead of time to drive to Charleston, SC on the first day. It was a total of 840 or so miles. A long day to say the least. We also stopped in New Jersey to have breakfast with a long time friend of mine. It was a nice drive. It was kind of funny watching the way the leaves have changed and are growing more and more the further South you go. We arrived in Charleston, SC about 9:30 p.m. We had dinner at a steakhouse, got a hotel room and a good night's sleep. We got up on Monday morning and went to visit my Uncle and a couple of cousins that D had not yet met. It was good for him to finally meet them. Took a few pictures for my mom and then we got back on the road to get home. It tooks us about 8 hours to get home. It would have been about 6 and 1/2 hour but there was an accident on one of the bridges on the way out of Charleston. But that is okay. It was a good trip but tiring.
We got home about 7:00, ordered Pizza for dinner, unpacked the truck and crashed for the night. It is now back to work, I need to make up my time from work I missed on Monday but that's okay too. I'll get it done. I'm glad that I was able to meet his family and that he got to meet mine.
It is now back to the daily grind of life. Hopefully I'll write again soon.
