We're on our Way

We finished packing the RV and left Friday morning for the 3 1/2 hour drive to Charlotte.

We had a great time visiting with Alicia and Sean and playing with the grandchildren. Brynn and Finley are growing so quickly!

After lunch on Saturday, we said our goodbyes and headed west on routes 74 and then 64 in the southern part of North Carolina. These scenic, twisty roads took us through the beautiful Smoky Mountains. It was close to 100 degrees when we left Charlotte, but in the mountains the temps dropped to a comfortable 80 degrees.

The scenic routes were slow-going, so we drove less than 200 miles which is just fine with us - we're all about the journey and we don't have to be at the Grand Canyon until the 28th.

We stopped for the night at a nice campground five miles outside Franklin, North Carolina. We enjoyed watching the fireflies sprinkle the night with twinkling lights.
