Day 58: Home Again To The Deep Freeze

On Saturday March 1 we drove from southern Indiana to Frederic, MI and made it home on our daughter, Beth's, due date.  However, the baby has not arrived as yet.  Our RV trip took us 5300 miles and almost two months and we had a wonderful time.

Here are current radar conditions. 
Just like on our trip south in the beginning of January we had to keep moving to  dodge storms in our travels.  The pink indicates freezing rain where we stayed Friday night in Indiana.

We stopped in Lansing to see the Hollenbecks.
Here William Edwin  is holding Eli William.

Marybeth and Nolan welcomed the grandparents back.

Karen got to feed Eli for a time.

When we hit Grayling it was 8 degrees and snowing.

Talk about deja vu - the weather was just as bitter as the day we left.

This is how Edgewater looked on our last night in Georgia.
We hope she survives her stay down south without us.

It is zero degrees outside as we write this on Sunday morning.
Here is the high temp forecast for today -- We are missing southern Texas already!!
Bill will soon go out and continue shoveling and blowing snow.
 
WELCOME HOME TO NORHTERN MICHIGAN

Day 57: We Cruise Past Chattanooga, Nashville and make a couple of Stops South of Louisville

On Friday, February 28 we got on the road fairly early, for us, and left Calhoun, Georgia behind as we continued our way back to our chilly home in Michigan.
We cross the Tennessee River just south of Chattanooga and enter into Tennessee.

We drive past Nashville:  home of Dave Ramsey and Emmylou.

We end up stopping at a few antique stores in Elizabethtown that are just south of Louisville, KY.

Can you guess why Karen likes these stores near Louisville?
 
The selection was quite good.

Many booths had some to inspect and compare.

Karen ended up buying five Derby Glasses to fill in her collection.  She even got a 2014 glass that came out in November!

We spent our last night here in Scottsburg, Indiana.
 
Next we will drive back into snow that we have not seen in almost two months.  Boo -Hiss!!
But we are looking forward to home sweet home as we know it has to warm up sometime.
