We're here!

Yes, we've arrived at Waxhaw, NC. Woohoo! Here's where we drove:

Thursday - Dallas to Monroe, LA
Friday - Monroe to Smyrna, GA
Saturday - Smyrna, GA to Waxhaw, NC

Each day, we started as early as we could in the morning and went until just before sunset. The before sunset thing was my request; I'm the navigator and loathe trying to read street-signs in twilight (or complete darkness, for that matter). It worked out well. Arrived safely and even got to unload the car into the new place in daylight.

The highlight of our trip was the overnight in Smyrna. Met up with a friend who has been an internet-buddy of ours at a yahoo.com message board, spent the better part of the night having great conversation with him, with a movie break for M.P.'s Holy Grail, with his daughter and daughter's friend from next door. I began to lose consciousness around 11pm, of course, as I am wont to do. Just can't keep the late hours anymore, man.

This morning, visited a Lutheran church in downtown Waxhaw, Amazing Grace Lutheran. While looking for a site to link you to so you could could see more about this church, found out that a Messianic congregation meets there on Saturdays. Coolness abounds!

Also is a coffeehouse with wireless internet access and a bead store in that downtown area, surrounded by oodles of antique stores. Me likey Waxhaw.
