Finding HHHappiness

 After a great night's sleep, we hit the road again this time a little later than planned. Being behind schedule didn't stop us from checking out the famous south of the border, as we entered into South Carolina. We found a fun purchase in hats of the world and admired some statues around the property. Shortly there after we approached lunch time. What better to dig into in South Carolina than some finger licking BBQ. We stopped in Manning, SC at JK's house of ribs for some top notch grub. Even bearing leftovers for $25 and change, so the prices were very fair, as you see the meal was not portion shy.  After sucking our fingers clean and a walk for our miniature dachshund we get back on the interstate and boogie toward the coast to see the ocean before crossing into Georgia. Arriving at Hilton Head Island we got Sunshine out onto the sand and sea foam for her very first time.  ...

We got an early start in the morning hitting the road at 4:30am. The sun rising a few hours in, somewhere around Scranton, PA.   We made pretty good time, traveling over 720 miles. Leaving us 850 miles or so to do over the next two days. The Everglades being our first camping location. We really didn’t have too many stops along the way so far, except for fuel and a few breaks for Sunshine to get out and stretch. We bought her a doggie car seat, which she actually likes!!  She was quietly laying down in the backseat most of the trip, just popping her head up once in a while to say “Hi!”   We stopped in Greenville, NC to meet up with a fellow Prankster and have a bite to eat.  We went to Jack Browns Burger & Beer Joint. Carmen and our friend had a beer and ordered burgers to go so we could eat in a local park with Sunshine.  The downtown district of Greenville had the coolest metal sculptures all around the area.   Here’s a few of them.... After our tasty...

We’re getting excited to leave on our next new adventure in a couple days. This trip will take us from the cold landscape of upstate New York to the land of sunshine in southern Florida.   We’ll be tenting in our new Cabalas 4 season tent for an entire month AND we’ll be bringing little Sunshine our 3 year old adopted miniature dachshund with us for this trip.   We’ve only had Sunshine for 3 months, and she lived a pretty sheltered life at a puppy breeder.   They sold her because she didn’t want to be bred.... well she’s going to be a traveling dog instead!  Now back to packing.....
