Last Minute Trip

Pop-Glo-Karl

Since both Pop and I are retired, we sometimes do things on the spur of the moment.  We have friends that I guess you would call snowbirds.  They have a place in North Carolina where they stay in the summer and a place in Florida for the winter.  They are both in their 80's and we got up last Monday morning and decided that we would go down for a visit.  We called and made plans to stay with them from Thursday to Saturday.  Pop said he wasn't sure how well he would be able to travel so let's get a few days head start in case we had to stop a lot.  So we packed up and left on Monday.  Surprisingly he traveled really well!!  He was able to drive and we just took our time and enjoyed the trip.  We told the oldest son our plan was to come home with iodine poisoning from eating so much seafood.  We came real close to accomplishing that!!  We both love seafood and we stopped at just about every place we thought would have some fresh and ate til we hurt!  We had a great visit with our friends and made it back home in time for the Super Bowl.  It was the best vacation that we have had in years!!!
