We spent a couple of hours with our son and his family last night. It was so good to see them! We toured their new home and they toured our little beach cottage on wheels. The grandaughters loved it and made sure to test the jumpability of our bed! LOL! When it was time to go, we started out to find a place for the night. At the third campground we called, we got the very last spot. Joe met us when we arrived and directed us to our spot in the dark. He told us how he had come for a visit to Tybee Island from Pennsylvania and decided to stay. Joe made us feel welcome and we really appreciated that after a very long day. 

He is a credit to River's End Campground . Here's a shot of the moon rising over our little house on wheels.

Once the camper was opened up, we decided to go for a walk to wind down a bit. We met Sonia and her husband walking their very big Great Dane named Zuma. She has a blog called Sonia's Dog Blog about life traveling with a large dog. Hop on over and say Hello!In the morning while I was still in dreamland, Bill went for a walk on the nearby beach and who do you think he met...the actor who plays the lifeguard in the new Baywatch movie! I chose the wrong morning to sleep in! LOL! He told Bill that Charleston is the Hollywood of the East...never knew that. Since there weren't any spots available for the evening, we packed up our little house and headed toward Ridgeland, South Carolina. Along the way, we drove by Tybee Island Lighthouse and I took a couple of shots.

We stopped at the Ridgeland Police Station to give them information about our trip and while Bill was there talking, I noticed the sign out front said that Ridgeland was "the high point of the low country". Also passed a cute thrift shop..."The Barkin' Basement" LOL! I love how the trees overhang the highway here.

So the wheels keep on turning and we spent the night of the 24th at Lake Aire RV Park , friendly welcome to these tired travelers. We stopped a little earlier so we could recover a bit. Made supper and caught up the blog and Facebook. Some days we couldn't do that as the WIFI was too slow to load. Might have to look at a mobile hotspot for the summer. It's amazing what you do when you are tired. The upper kitchen cabinet doors are wide so you have to lean back to close them...well, I forgot that and managed to clobber myself in the head with one of the doors! LOL! That's going to leave a mark! Also walloped my arm on the shower door handle so I have a few more bruises than when we left. But it's like when you rearrange the furniture at home, you keep bumping into it until you get used to the new arrangement. We've decided that Route 17 is pretty much going to be the same along its entire route, so we are headed toward home.
