Greensboro, NC

Greensboro, NC. What fun to be had, well kinda. We left Florida late Saturday morning with multiple destinations in our future. First stop, Macon GA. Since we had plenty of time to spare, we decide to stop often. With Caleb's unhappiness at times in the car seat, we both knew our nerves would be fried by the end of the day. With our financial status of not having any I was able to finally put to use all of those credit card points and booked a hotel in Macon for the night. I read all the reviews, none perfect and finally decided on the red roof inn. Not a high class hotel, but in the budget. So after driving for 8 hours we tiredly pull into the parking lot to see multiple hoodlum types hanging out. Robert gets our room key, and of course our room is right in the thick of the "gang". It left us a little nervous to say the least. After entering our room, which was surprisingly clean, we hear a ruckus outside. Two girls are yelling at each other, one on the ground in a car and one on the second floor. I would have looked out the window to see the show if it wasn't for my fear of being shot.  Robert and I discussed leaving, but decided to give it a little more time. The girls finished their fight and all was quiet again. When Robert and I left for supper at the local BBQ joint we found a dozen condoms had been strewn throughout the parking lot as downed soldiers of the battle.


We spent a few hours the next day visiting with my Aunt and Uncle in Douglasville, GA. It was good to spend time with Uncle Charlie, who I hadn't seen in a few years. They also got to meet my husband and son. We were enamored by the detailed work he has done on the house, and how happy he seems now. We then headed off to the mountains and Asheville, NC to an uneventful hotel stay with a lazy morning before we headed into Greensboro, NC.

 Caleb and I have spent our down time exploring the area while Robert hangs out in classes and drinks free beer. The first day we headed back in time in Old Salem. 



We then hit the local farmers market to wander and eat lunch. Caleb got the attention of every little old lady with in a 20ft radius.





Robert, Caleb and I went to eat dinner at Bonefish Grill last night. Looks like Caleb had to much to drink.

Caleb woke up this morning (Thursday) with a stuffy nose. Poor guy spent the night coughing and barely able to breathe. Must be the change in temperature. No fever, and he seems still just as happy.

We spent the next few days locked up in the hotel room due to rain and a sick kid.


Are we there yet?
