When we left North Carolina we drove to Brunswick, GA. We stopped in Savannah on the way. Larry noticed that the distressed stucco with brick exposed on this building in Savannah was authentic.Here's where our path takes a turn. We left the rig in Brunswick and took the car back North and then East to Knoxville. Larry and I have been talking alot about jobs and our plans. Since Accountemps didn't serve me so well in New England, we're thinking we may have to settle somewhere in order for me to work. We were thinking about Knoxville so decided to check it out. The drive there, through the mountains in Western Carolinas, was beautiful. The autumn colors were spectacular - better than New England (believe it or not). This photo is from Georgia but it's indicative of the whole area.
Knoxville was nice but it wasn't what we expected. Larry had been there before but I hadn't. We decided to keep going and check out Chattanooga. We had just been through there a couple weeks before and liked what we saw. Again, the drive was beautiful. It turns out we like Chattanooga enough to think about settling there.
In the meantime, we stayed with our original plan and have come all the way to Florida. First though, I spent some time with my cousin and her family in Georgia while Larry went to St Louis for work. We had a great visit. Here are (from left to right) Casey, Linda, Joel (me) and Jamie. Let's not forget Max, the toy Schnauzer. :-) They have 3 more kids who are living in other parts of the country.So, we arrived in Orlando yesterday and I started looking for a job right away. It may be a temp job or even a permanent job. Depending upon what happens, we may live in FL for a while (even a year or two) or maybe not. The next week to month will have a great influence on our plans.
So, stay tuned for more news. And check out our photo album: http://travelingturtles.myphotoalbum.com/
