Addressing again all the naysayers: now it's my turn to gloat (although not too loudly because we have a long way to go before we get home). WE MADE IT TO THE EAST COAST!!! HOORAY!!! We pulled in to the Mt. Pleasant KOA outside of Charleston, South Carolina, and we have already gone to the beach at the Isle of Palms and eaten a great seafood dinner at a local crab restaurant. We had rain over the last couple of days, but when we got here the weather was breaking. The sun was peeking though the clouds, there was a nice breeze, and it is not nearly as humid as it was in Georgia and Tennessee.
We chose to come here because Kit and her late husband Bob used to bring their kids here on vacation when he was in the Air Force and stationed on the East coast. Kit brought Becky and her sisters to the Isle of Palms once shortly after their dad died, and they have fond memories but have not been back in 21 years.
We will be staying here now for four nights so it will also be nice to get a break from driving.
When I stopped at a crazy huge fireworks store (not stand), a lady looked at the plates on the RV, and asked, “Did you really drive here from California?”
“Yeah,” I answered, “We came for the fireworks.” There are a lot of fireworks that I haven’t seen since I was a kid. Of course, it would be illegal for me to bring any of those back into California so don’t ask. (wink, wink).
