Let the adventure begin

The time has finally arrived for our summer vacation. We’re heading south this year for some rest and relaxation.   It’s been a busy summer with Ralph focusing on renovating the kitchen and I have been busy with work. I wasn’t expecting to work this summer but the project has lasted much longer. It has been very interesting but now I am ready to enjoy some down time. Ralph has booked two rounds of golf for this week in North Carolina. The first course we are playing is Grandover Resort and then Greensboro National. We’re looking forward to that. Today we are taking our time driving down and plan to stay in Summersville, West Virginia. Tomorrow we will drive to Kernersville, North Carolina which is about 3.5 hours away from Summersville. We’ll be meeting up with Laura and Jay and the family on Friday in Myrtle Beach.  It’s going to be so much fun.  We arrived in Summersville around dinner time and spent some time exploring. We never realized how beautiful this area is. Many of the homes have large sprawling properties and are in a very traditional “south” architecture. We really enjoyed seeing this.  We had a nice dinner at Applebee’s after finding out the restaurant of our choice was closed on Monday (Malone’s Bar and Grill). We’ll have to try this another time.   We plan to enjoy a quiet evening and hopefully stop and photograph the gorge on the next leg of our journey.
