Up after another good night's sleep. This Comfort Inn Suites was one of the nicest
we have stayed in. Quiet, comfortable beds, a nice sofa, and the
breakfast was good this morning. 1,000
times better than the Quality Inn on our way down – never again unless we are
very desperate will we choose one of that brand Choice Hotels. Ben had a great idea – we brought the shrimp
and fish in and put in the freezer in our room for the night. The fish and 2 pounds of the shrimp had frozen
in the van freezer but the one in the room was much larger. Everything was frozen solid this
morning. We pulled out of Columbia headed to
Spartanburg about 9:30. The day was a little overcast, but that is fine for
travel.
The miles clipped by, just past Spartanburg Jane spotted a
Strawberries sign and we stopped – bought a basket of beautiful red sweet
berries! We had thought we might stop at
the Farmer’s Market in Asheville, but this was much better – right out of the
field. We did stop at Trader Joe’s in
Asheville and Jane found some of what she wanted and as always, a few things
extra! Bought lunch fixin’s and we
stopped at the TN welcome center about 1:00 for a quick lunch. The mountains around us were shrouded in
clouds and just as we were leaving it began to pour rain. Rained hard on us all the way to Johnson City
where it slacked off a little. It had
rained here when we got home but nothing like what we had over in the Erwin
area.
Really nice trip with wonderful weather. Lots of relaxing
both on the beach and off. The food was
great. I have finished writing for the
blog and will need to download photos.
Since the magnet came off Ben’s phone just after we left home he
could not view Waze for navigating. So my
phone became the navigator phone…therefore not too many photos on this trip. Got to get busy making Ben a strawberry pie
for his birthday supper. Celebrating his
80th birthday!
