Caudell's Traveler's Rest
Travel Blogs from Toccoa
Washington DC to Atlanta Georgia
... I would have jumped at the chance however I only have one more flight, it's already booked and paid for. I picked up my new car - a cute little white Mazda 2. I'm at the Holiday Inn & Suites at Camp Creek, near College Park Georgia just 20 minute drive from Downtown ...
Detroit Tigers' Ty Cobb remembered in Georgia!
... before and after baseball. He founded the hospital (which bears his name) there, and his foundation continues to provide college scholarships to students from the area.
It's a small space, but the museum is very well done - and Ty Cobb was such an interesting and talented man that there was lots to be learned!

Leaving Cleveland
... and pick up anything I have forgotten. Will really miss Jordyn and Jack while we are gone... Jack wants us to bring him back a baby buffalo to keep at his Dad's house!! Jordy doesn't care what we bring her back as long as "Nana and Poppy" come back... Sure wish we could take them with us. Jack's idea of us home schooling him doesn't seem so bad now. I love my grandbabies!!!

Georgia and South Carolina
... into a horrible rain storm with thunder, lightening and hail in Franklin, NC on the way back. Living in Florida, you would think that it would be a piece of cake for me (I was driving) but I had to even pull over for a while.
To finish the day, we went back to the campsite, got our computers, and headed for the Cork and Bean coffee shop to get on the Internet. We closed them down AGAIN. The cafe latte's are great though so I'm drinking a lot of caffeine.

It's Aliiiiive!!!
... is a situation where a kindle would be great (for downtime reading too), but since we don't have one, we have to make do. So I took our guidebook and cut out the pages I thought we might need. I easily omitted hundreds of pages (and ounces!) just for Greece and Spain and only kept the London, Paris, and Munich sections of the UK, France and Germany respectively.
I also printed out travel sections ...
