Home Sweet Home!

Well we finally made it!  However it was not the adventure we were looking for...

  We left on Friday July 29 only to make it to mile marker number 76 on 35W only to turn around due to our U Haul truck having engine problems, so we slowly made our way back to the Burnsville location.  After the mechanic took a look at it several times, it was determined we needed a new truck.  Now that would not have been an issue any other weekend except we choose to move on the busy weekend of the year, and U Haul could not say when a truck would be available.  We heading to a hotel for the night and came back early in the morning. It took A LOT of pushing on our part, but they were able to find us a truck.  So we got the lovely pleasure of unpacking our stuff out of the broken truck and re-packing it into the new truck.  The company was suppose to get us a moving company to help complete the packing but then claimed "We didn't need it since some of the workers were helping" at the Burnsville location.  Needless to say, we got on the road that Saturday night and made it to Mt Pleasant, IA before stopping to catch some zzz's.  We still are dealing with some issues with U Haul for getting reimbursed for not having movers to help with the transfer of our belongings from truck to truck and for the auto transport we could not  use because the truck could not handle to weight of towing a vehicle.

But we made it in the end!  We arrived to Augusta, Ga a little after noon on Monday August 1. (We did some power driving all day on Sunday and made it to the west side of Atlanta early Monday morning, so we had just a two hour drive for our Monday drive.)  Our home is  a typical "cute" southern home with a   large front porch with a swing!  We still have some cleaning and unpacking to do, but it is starting to feel like home!!!  Oh, I do have to add that Bella did great with the move and started to relax a bit once she started to see our stuff unpack.  I will post pictures once we get a little more put together.

Last but not least, we did take some time for a little R & R out in South Carolina at Hilton Head Island for a few days.  We ate some AMAZING seafood and relaxed at the beach on the Atlantic.  Bella even took her first swim in the ocean! 

Until next time....
