Business in Augusta

Friday afternoon we loaded up our little white rental car, the one with no cruise control, and made our way to Augusta, GA. It was primarily a business trip, but we aim to make an adventure out of everything. :) So while Tony drove, I read out loud to him and crocheted some. We turned up the radio to sing and dance. We talked. and laughed. and sat in silence. Things that the bestest of friends do ~ enjoying our time together. After the clock moved forward about 7 hours we checked into our cozy hotel room. We freshened up and scouted out restaurants with large tap lists -- because we like variety and love to try new things! Google helped us find Rooster's Beak Friday night and Mellow Mushroom Pizzeria the next. :)

Most of Saturday, Tony worked & I hung out at the hotel. I took a nap, read, crocheted, worked out, painted my nails, caught up on email, and ate lunch by myself in the hotel steakhouse (a veggie quesadilla). In the evening we took a quick walk near the Savannah River, enjoyed a "Philosopher's Pie" at the pizzeria, and strolled the night time streets of downtown Augusta. Tony worked a few hours on Sunday before we took a more scenic, lesser traveled path back to our home sweet home (hwy 64 through Charlotte). We admired the rolling hills, lakes, rocks, and rivers. We drove out of the way a little and waited nearly an hour to eat at Taco Mac. :) It was worth the wait! We did more reading from The 4 Hour Work Week and The Search for God & Guinness. Two great books that have made it to our favorite list!!! Hours passed by as the wheels on our car went round and round. We paused for a short nap, reenergized with coffee and some chips & salsa. As the moon took it's place in the sky, we parked the car in our driveway, glad to be home! :)
