Travel Tuesday

So, last week, we went to Atlanta and picked up Sandy for her turn to be pampered at the beach. 

We started with a "selfie" in the car. Since this whole trip is about Sandy, I let her ride in the front.

Our first stop was the "little white house" in Warm Springs, GA--summer home of FDR.

This was the portrait that was being painted when he died.

This is the chair he was sitting in when he passed out. He died a little later.

It was a great tour--well, except one of the docents was a little long-winded. I kinda' understand it, because we were the only ones there. Another group showed up, so I sort of told the docent that we were going to go and let her help the new people. We then made our escape!

After touring the little white house, we had lunch at an old hotel turned restaurant. It was a buffet with good 'ol country cooking--lots of veggies.

After lunch, we browsed a shop. Turns out it was going out of business. Everything in the store was half-price! Let's just say we did some damage!

Once we got to the beach, we didn't take any more pictures. We went to our favorite restaurants--Stinky's Fish Camp--just Sandy and me as Butch was working; Papa Surf's for burgers--Butch's first time too; we ordered Pizza by the Sea (always); and then we went to her favorite---The Perfect Pig. 

We got pedicures, we got in the pool, we played games, we got ice cream, we had happy hour on the porch and we watched a couple shows. Oh, and then Sandy and I did some more shopping at the outlet mall. Again, we hit some super sales, so I (we) treated her to some fun new things. 

All in all, it was a lot of fun just having her to ourselves. That never happens! it's about time!
