Working through raindrops

We pulled in our slides and unhooked from Site 233 between the rain drops, which were coming down quite heavily when we awoke this morning. "G" already had Ms. Parton attached to Allie, so we only needed to load the little Sentra before heading down the highway. We were finally able to get on the road about 11 am. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare penned the famous line, "Parting is such sweet sorrow." Since the weather was so cloudy and wet, "parting" became slightly more bearable.

We will be spending the next two nights at KOA Savannah South, which is located in Richmond Hill, GA. We are both looking forward to checking out the historic city of Savannah, something I've been wanting to do for quite some time. "G" was able to get us tickets for a "hop on, hop off" trolley tour. It will make stops at many of the sights we wanted to see. A bus will even pick us up right at the KOA and drop us off at the end of the day.

Lucy has surprised us by adapting quickly to being back on the road for an extended period of time. She spent most of her time in the bed, in her carry bag or on my lap. She seemed only to get disturbed over rough roads, and I can't fault her for feeling that way, because it disturbed me too.

The weather forecast for Savannah is cloudy with temperatures in the 70°'s. We'll take it over cold and rain.

At 6 pm we finally pulled into KOA Savannah South. It is a lovely campground with paved roads and gravel sites. We were fortunate to have secured a pull-through for the next two nights. There is a nice in-ground swimming pool, but I don't think we will make any use of it. "G" already changed into jeans and a jacket to get us all hooked up and just started up the furnace to get the chill out. Besides the rain, the temp is down to 59°, which for us, after coming off of high 80° weather in Clermont, is chilly. 

The on and off rain that has followed us up I-95 all day has started to become more serious now, thus preventing a walk around the campground. 

Dinner is ready, plans for tomorrow's foray into Savannah shall begin soon and an early bedtime will be the order for the night.
