There was no blog for Day 31 – June 22. We spent the day visiting our son and daughter-in-law and her family.

This will also be my last blog for this trip and it is nothing exciting. I took very few photos today. We did no stops of interest. We drove from the Outer Banks along country roads past trees and crops and through small towns to arrive at our hotel in Sanford at 5 pm.

It is a six hour drive on the Interstate from Nags Head on the Outer Banks to Charlotte, but who wants to do that? We purposely put in an extra day between the end of the wedding festivities and our flight home so we had the option of taking a slower route if we chose. And, of course, that is what we chose.

Sanford is only about 2 hours from our son’s mother-in-law’s home in Charlotte so we are going there tomorrow for a last visit before we fly home to BC and they fly home to Texas on Tuesday.

We saw lots of these pretty white flowers blooming among the bull rushes as we drove past all the marsh land this morning.

If we weren’t driving past a farm crop we were driving along tree-lined roads.

Many times as well we drove through the lovely canopies created when the trees practically meet across the road span. I love those.

We have seen several of these fire towers on our travels around on this trip and two of them today. Too many stairs for me but I would love to be up there to check out the view.

I did not get the name of this waterway as we drove over the bridge. Saw several of these straight river channels today as well.

Besides the acres of mown lawn around this huge house they had a beautiful big pond as their view.

We have seen many of these lovely pink lilac-looking trees but I never had an opportunity to catch a photo of them as we drove by when they were close to the road. I spotted these as we were stopped at a traffic light.

So, that is all folks. As I said, we will visit with our son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter at Carrie’s mom’s house tomorrow, then drive to a hotel near the airport for the night. Well some of the night. We have to drop off our rental car before we check in, so we need to be at the airport about 3:30 am in order to do that and check in the required 2 hours before our 6 am flight to Atlanta and Calgary and then back to BC. We have put almost 4800 miles on our rental car. Thanks for travelling along.
