Day 1: Monday September 4th, 2006
Lana got home around 0750 and took a nap with Shadow while I got ready for the day. After getting up and getting everything ready for the entire 3 ½ weeks away we finally got away from the house at about 1907.
We didn’t have time in the few days prior to pick up our camping chairs from Eleanor so we called and stopped by her house to get the chair. When we were on Blythewood Lana had a hypoglycemic moment :-) and totally drove past our old house, lol, we got there finally and had a really nice chat with Aunt Shirley. Apparently Eleanor looks after her full time now as her health was deteriorating, but she now looks really well.
Earlier in the day I had called a lady from Creative memories about some journal paper for our scrap books so we went to her place which was just around the corner from Aunt Shirley’s and picked up 20 pages of journaling paper.
Because it was now past dinner time we really needed to eat and so on the way out to Simpsonville we stopped at Wendy’s and got a couple of burgers and fries. Lana’s Dr Pepper was yucky so we had to throw it away but I think it is yucky anyway. :-)
We ate on the way out to Simpsonville to drop off a wetsuit that Lana had from her ERT training, and talked to Scott Krein a little, then we were off to Wal-Mart.
We needed to go to Wal-Mart to return a heap of stuff that didn’t fit and we had planned to just return the stuff and leave, but then we remembered that Lana needed some socks as hers were packed, needless to say we ended up buying more than just socks and spent more money buying stuff than we did getting back on our returns. :-) Oops.
Eventually checked out of Wal-Mart around 2235, filled up both coolers with ice and “reorganized” the back of the car. Then Lana was a bit peckish* again (surprise surprise) so ate a plum that we had bought previously. I decided that now would be a good time to take some pics of her and the packed car. So we have nice ones of that and of course another one of the Wal-Mart sign, this time in Simpsonville.
After lots of laughter and frivolity and more mayhem and carnage going on we finally made it out of the Wal-Mart parking lot about 2255.
At 2315 while I am typing this days journal and Lana is talking on the phone to her brother John we finally made it out of Greenville County :-)
We are heading out of Greenville on 85 then getting on to Hwy 76 to Chattanooga, TN.
Have to do lots of driving so I am going to take a nap now so I can take over from Lana when she is tired.
