Day 6 - Road Trip 2014

Another perfect day to travel across America!!

This morning we took a great tour of Ft Sumter.  Sterling is very interested in history and especially the civil war.  He was excited to get to see the place where it all began.  The girls thought is was pretty cool too.  The ferry to Ft Sumter left from the USS Yorktown which is another very important part of our history.  Sterling said it reminded him of the USS Lexington.  We met some really nice people from Fredericksburg, VA.  They were glad our road trip was taking us to their home state.

We saw our first traffic accident today.  I know...with all of the miles we have traveled so far we have not seen a traffic accident!!  It was minor, thankfully.  Slowed traffic down a bit.  The drivers on the road today were not as friendly as we are use too.  We like friendly :)  I bet tomorrow everyone will be back to normal.

We have absolutely loved being with our dear friends the Bacchus Family today and tonight!  

Sterling & Ian have known each other 1/2 their lives.  The Bacchus' moved to Elon, North Carolina in December and we have really missed them!  They lived in town in Georgetown and now they have 10 acres in the country with a pool and LOTS of fireflies.  The 3 Bacchus boys are in heaven!  We had a great dinner (thank you Rob)...and loads of play time for the kids.  It is a highlight of our trip to get to spend time with our sweet friends and catch up.

THANK YOU BACCHUS FAMILY FOR ALL OF YOUR HOSPITALITY AND FOR LETTING US STAY WITH YOU!!!
