Griswold’s Road Trip

Looks like a lovely spot to spend NYE. However, I hope you took note of the person pointing out Corinthians 6:9-10 and did not indulge in any of the multitudinous misdeeds the sign was warning you about.

This guy? I made sure I read the back which said if I did any of those misdeeds I just had to repent and all will be sweet.

Happy New Years everyone!

The Americans can certainly put on a festival. New years is a great time around the States. our son lived in Philly for 2 years so we got to see the New Year day Mummers parade. Crazy.
They have a museum with some of the better costumes.

About The Mummers - Mummers Museum

Situated in the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Mummers Museum is a vibrant hub that celebrates the rich tradition of the Mummers Parade.

And if you're in the states over New years Philly put on a great show. this was last years parade.

On to Florence, South Carolina for a one night stop. Although only a bit over two hours split the trip by stopping and stretching the legs on Main Street in Fayetteville. Pretty little strip, most of the shops were closed but picked up a latte from a coffee shop which ended up just tasting like warm milk.

Before hitting the hotel had a late lunch at Dz Pit Bbq just outside Florence. Ellen and I shared the small platter, short rib, brisket, pulled pork, coleslaw and potato salad.

Outdoor dining which the juniors said was too cold.

And seen "Forrest Gump"...who hasnt?

His bench was a prop and is in the museum there and you can go to the park (Chippewa Square) and sit where it was put for the movie, which is (or was) a garden.bed. All the real benches in the park face into the park, not out to an imaginary bus stop.

Unfortunately I haven’t read it but remember the movie if that was in any way accurate..
