February 25, 2006 - Manning, South Carolina
We have decided to stay here in Manning another night. It is pouring down rain here today so a good day to stay put and watch movies. We had a nice chat with the folks from Conneticut, Richard and Joan this morning before they headed back out on the road. Darlene has some movies downloaded to a portable hard drive we picked up before we left home and we are able to watch them on her laptop. We have to buy a memory stick for the carmcorder and we will pick up a cord for the computer that will allow us to watch the movies on the TV from now on. We were out and had lunch at Zaxby's, a chicken type restaurant but much better tasting than KFC, I had the best chicken salad sandwich I have eaten in a long time. We then took a little drive around and happened on the local golf course, Clarendon Golf and Country Club. We took a couple of pictures by one of the greens. I am starting to get the golf bug again so plan to get out and play a little golf in Savannah.
Also, we plan to go to The Lady and Sons restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, featuring Food Network chef Paula Deen's famous Southern home cooking. Savannah has a historic properties area, so we will likely arrange a trolley tour around there one day as well. Another funny comment this morning I wanted to share: Darlene asked the woman at the front desk if there were any tourist attractions around here, her response was, "Walmart" :-)...you have to love these southerners, they are so polite and friendly...
