Summer Journey

I've been anticipating this trip for quite a while. Judy and I began to discuss it almost immediately when #screaminouida was planned. So for the better part of a year we've considered what all we might want to do.

With firm plans for the first Darsey Family Reunion in place, Judy and I discussed a visit with her dad and his wife. That broadened our journey greatly. While the number of travel miles greatly increased, we gained the opportunity to visit coastal Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

Judy and I began to fill in the gaps with our own journey. However, we purposefully left our plans ambiguous. We have some definite things we want to see and experience. We also have left ourselves wide open to explore. We have always enjoyed an amount of spontaneity in our travel.

So it began today...our Summer Journey. Our trip includes anticipated family time. It also includes a few days for the two of us to travel alone. Our trip includes firm scheduling. It also includes days of impetuous adventuring.

I hope to be able to "report from the road". I'm not going to make myself any promises. I am looking forward to history and beauty. I'm looking forward to meaningful time and energy invested in things I find interesting.  Most of all, I'm looking forward to meaningful time with people I love.

Day One-Travel Day

-Winona to Jackson for Judy's post-surgery doctors visit

-Jackson to Savannah, GA. We left Jackson at 9:38 am. We traveled 10 hours and 22 minutes and covered 628 miles. With only two rest stops totaling less than twenty minutes, we were blessed with an abundant amount of windshield time.
