As many of you know, Grandpa Cook (my dad) LOVES to drive and I inherited that trait from him. Okay...so I may not drive from Conyers, GA to Buffalo, NY to Minot, ND to Austin, TX to Cape Canaveral, FL then back to Conyers, GA (in less then 2 weeks...a crazy trip my dad embarked on a few years ago). But, I do share a love for the open road. It may be too early to make a prediction, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Baby Yamo may be following in our footsteps! We just got back from a 2k mile road trip and it was a blast!!
We started by driving from Gainesville to Charleston, SC. After hours of 'car dancing' (jamming in the car to fun music) we had a delicious meal in the historic district and stayed in a quaint bed and breakfast. The next day we scoped out Myrtle Beach and Florence, SC, then visited Aunt Katherine in Fayetteville, NC. The next leg of our trip was to Raleigh, NC to visit Uncle Greg, Aunt Jill and cousin Victoria. Victoria is absolutely beautiful (see attached photo) and a fabulous baby. Although she is only 4 months old, I think she is excited about having a cousin soon!
Next up, Baby Yamo and I drove to Charlotte, NC (where we recently visited for a different business trip). It was a quick trip downtown and then we were back to Raleigh again. Luckily, Greg and Jill were happy to have us and we stayed there for the next few days. After a few days working in Raleigh, we traveled to Wilmington to visit more hospitals. We ate at an amazing italian restaurant (Baby Yamo loves baked ziti) then headed back to Raleigh for one more night (yes, there was a lot of back and forth action on this trip). After a final fun evening with the Cook's, we ventured back to Gainesville. Baby Yamo and I were rather tired and it was a long journey. We stopped every 2 hours for either a snack or to use the restroom (see previous post relating to the Camel if you are unclear..).
As if that were not enough traveling for one week, we drove to Miami yesterday afternoon and we are heading out on our cruise today. In fact, we board in less then an hour so I need to get going.
Hasta Luego!!
