On the road to Charleston, SC

Moving Day - finally here.  The journey from Houston to Charleston was mapped via the southern or I-10 route as I wanted to drive along the gulf coast with hopes of seeing water and capturing some 'blues' along the way.  We weren't going to go as far north as the real Mississippi Delta but I was channeling my own Graceland.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvliMzAFWHM

First, Packing, Packing, Packing, all day (12 hours - 7 men) on Sunday June 28, 2015

 

 

Truck was finally loaded, said last goodbye's to the neighbors and friends and then Sue and I had our final dinner in Houston at Goode's Barbeque before setting off.
