Cheesecake and Burgers . . .
Since yesterday was a travel day, today was a goof-off and do nothing day. So we goofed-off and did nothing today.
For lunch Jan fixed cheese toast, and then following in the ‘cheese’ motif, we had the pumpkin cheesecake that we brought home from our meal at The Peddler Steakhouse Sunday night at South of the Border. And like our whole meal, it was delicious. Jan said it was the best cheesecake she’d ever eaten.
About 1:30pm Jan and I headed out on some errands. She wanted to get her toes done, and I wanted to get a haircut. And, although it took some driving around, we managed to find a nail place and a hair place side by side. In getting there though, we ended going part way over to Beaufort, SC
Beaufort is the home of the US Marine’s Parris Island and the Beaufort Marine Corp Air Station. In 1969-1970 I was working as a DOD contractor at the MCAS working on F-4C, D, and E’s. So coming back to this area is kind of like coming back home.
We got home about 3:30 and it seemed like a good time for nap. We like naps.
Then a little after 5pm we headed out with Nick and Terry to have dinner at a Five Guys Burgers and Fries over in Savannah. Five Guys has pretty much become our favorite burger place, although Fuddrucker’s is a close second.
On our way home our daughter Brandi called to catch us up on Landon and life down in Texas in general. We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone is less than a month.
Tomorrow is kind of up in the air so we’ll have to see how it goes.

Marching Thru Georgia (almost) . . .
We only had a 200 mile run today so we didn’t leave Bass Lake RV Park until about 10, and then it was only for about 12 miles down I-95 to a Flying J to take on about 75 gallons of diesel and a couple of cups of Pumpkin Spice Latte.
I had to wait in line to fill up so by the time we were back on the road it was about 45 minutes later. We had hardly got back on the road before I got a phone call from the Chase Credit Card Fraud Division about my recent large purchase. The problem was that I had two purchases for diesel, one for $75 and a second one for $217. I forgot that to get the $495 fill up on my card, I needed to enter it as a credit card, not as a debit card. But since I did it as a debit to start with, the pump shut off at $75, so I had to do it again.
We did meet a couple, Dick and Nancy, at the Flying J who are new RV’ers. They’ve only been on the road since August so they’re still just getting their feet wet. They are also on their way to Savannah, so maybe we’ll meet up. And in fact we did see them a little later at a rest area.
After that it was a pretty smooth trip down I-95, with only a couple of rest stops along the way.
After some initial confusion between conflicting GPS directions, we pulled into Hardeeville RV Park about 2:30, finally found our sites and got set up. Nick did have to move to another site because just pushing the button wouldn’t make his satellite work.
After a nice quiet afternoon of resting up, we headed out about 6pm to have dinner at a Golden Corral over in Savannah. And, as usual it was pretty good, and a lot of it.
Our kind of place.
