We got in last night (Monday) around 1 AM. I ended up driving straight through as I stopped at Food Lion before leaving town and loaded up with 10 cases of Cheerwine!
For those of you who don't know what it is, it is a cherry soda with more caffiene than 12 bottles of Mountain Dew (well, not really but close!) and is simply scrumptious! Cheerwine is only available in select southern states which just so happens to be made in the same town my parents live...Salisbury, North Carolina. Yes, of course we went to the Cheerwine Factory, too! We loaded up on T-shirts, a pair of Cheerwine Boxers for Jacy, collectible figurines and they even gave the kids Cheerwine pencils for school and gave my father and I cool Cheerwine pens.
Why would Cheerwine keep us from making the trip in two days and staying in a hotel? Would you want to drag 10 cases of Cheerwine up to your hotel room, along with the luggage you came with and the crap you accumulated on your trip!? 'Nuff said!
I will be back in a few days, however. I have gotten most everything unpacked, but I am so exhausted! Them waves kick the poop out of you! I have Jacy's high school orientation tomorrow...which takes all day for some reason. ? So, after a few days of recuperating, I will try to get back on track.
In the mean time, look for a video in the next day or two...it will be so worth it!
