Google me!!

We just left Andersonville National Historic site where the Confederate POW Prison was during the Civil War. (Camp Sumpter) We took the driving tour, and Grampy could sit in his chair and see it all out the window. I took lots of pictures of what he couldn't see to show him! ("You kids can do everything on those damn phones these days!")
We decided to skip out on Cape Canaveral on Sunday, Grampy wasn't feeling well (just worn out) and so we decided to head north to St. Augustine so Mom and I could shop while Grampy rested. We shopped til we dropped, as we always do! We spent the night last night in Cordele, Georgia at a really nice KOA RV "Resort" and stopped in Andersonville today. We are headed home now, and we're going to drive as far as Grampy can make it tonight!
Grampy's story will be in the Ocala Star Banner tomorrow, and here is the link for the online story that ran today! If you google him, there are several links to other publications that picked it up! I'm going to send it to our local Newspaper too!
Our trip has been great so far, full of tons of laugh til we cry moments, and a few laugh to keep from crying moments! He has had the time of his life, and now that we know how easy for him it was, hopefully there will be many more!!!

  1. Keith had a great-great-great-grandpa that was a doctor that was imprisoned at Andersonville. Someone tried to steal his shoes but he wouldn't let them because he knew the risk of infection would be greater for him. We will have to check that out sometime. looks like the weather was nice and sunny!
