The kayaks are a problem. We rented a camp, which is what cottages in the Adirondacks are usually called regardless of how rustic or palatial they are, in Wanakena. It is on the water and we want our kayaks along. I think we would use them a lot more than we do in Cedar Key because we wouldn't have to transport them once we were there. We loaded them on the Subaru and brought them to Gainesville. Alas, that was all the energy we could muster for bringing them. They are a pain to load on top of the car, and we couldn't leave them up there until today. The car won't go in the garage with them atop :)
Then I got picturing driving over the Virginia mountain passes, through the "stay alert for strong cross winds" areas, and chickened out. Luckily, Russ was wiling to accommodate my timidity about driving 1500 miles with them up there. But I know I will miss them when we arrive!
Today, we traveled through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and into North Carolina. We are staying at the Sonesta ES in Charlotte, which is quite nice and not too pricey for being on I-95.
Pat, MaryJo, and Katie met us for dinner at Harvey's Restaurant. We had wonderful service and a booth table big enough for all the plates without squeezing. The best part was that we could hear, despite music and many other customers. I need to write a TripAdvisor review. It was not even very expensive.
It is hard to believe that Katie has graduated from high school. She is planning to start college in January. We missed having Brian there, but he lives in Chapel Hill these days and it is not close.
Tomorrow, off to see Meg and Steve in Lexington.
Wonderful start to our trip.
