Out of NC

We are fed, one asleep, and only on our first DVD. Not too bad considering screaming started before we were a quarter if a mile away from the driveway.

Baby Belle is screeching with delight as she sees the mountains in the distance. (I just might be squealing inside too. Oh how we love the mountains!). My popping ears are telling me we're close.

Highlights so far? A gun store we passed called Guns Out The Ying Yang. As much as I hate guns, it was pretty funny. And, thanks to my handy dandy History Here App, I have learned that we drove right near the grave sight of Chang and Eng Bunker: the "original" Siamese twins from Siam aka Thailand currently. Fascinating! Evidently they bought a plantation, married sisters (not connected ones) and, though joined at the chest somehow managed to father 21 children between the two of them. Don't say I never share anything useful.
