My first trip away from SoWal since moving there

[organicmama]

Dang! It was an awful drive... The kids started the "Are we there yet?" as we got on I-10! Zoe had to poop on the side of the road before we even got to 231 ... glad I had wipes! A 6 1/2 hour trip took 8-8 1/2 hours!

And heading to GA was simply hail. I am here, on Lake Oconee, for another day and leaving to ATL on Monday morning and then headed home after an appt, but it's MISERABLE! My heart is in SoWal.

Because I haven't been here in over 2 years... I can't even head to Athens (my other "home," 30 minutes away) for fear of being seen as being AWOL.

I feel like Alice in Wonderland and I wish I was home in SoWal! Just love it for me until we get back! Not leaving again for a really long time!

You are so funny! We moved 4 years ago and we haven't been back to Michigan either! No weddings, funerals or graduations to HAVE to go for.
Since my parents are here for a couple of months a year, we get to see them. We see Aunt Steph, Unka Dave and kids the most out of all our family. They love to come see us! Now Lowcarb (another aunt) has bought here and is lurking. I'm waiting for her first post. Besides, I have grayt friends from Michigan like Paula who I get to see here too!


Did you feel like you were cheating on SoWal?

it's true that leaving sowal is kinda hard to do for locals. we might miss out on something. we do make ourselves leave town - usually just a long weekend - a few times a year or so - to get a break from work and routine. we do need a vacation. even from sowal. but its so strange that we don't really feel a strong need to ever leave town for vacation, as we once felt when living elsewhere.

my best friend plans her trips so she can be back for the weekend in sowal. and she's never gone longer than 2 days if she can help it. unless its a major trip.

leaving SoWal is highly over-rated, especially for a beach vacation. I know so many SoWallers who cuss themselves after going to other beaches for vacation, vowing never to do that again.

:scratch: Well................. maybe that was more than 2 words




I think if I lived at the beach I'd want to vacation in the mountains or out west. Something totally different . I wouldn't be too hard on GA, the weather has been unusually bad

SJ,
I normally would say I agree with you, but gotta disagree on this one....
If we only had better surf! The majority of my vacations are to other beaches. I love SoWAl but if you love to surf it get pretty depressing
