My mom called me last Wednesday to see if I would be interested in going on a road trip with her and my brother to South Carolina to see my nephew play baseball. He plays college baseball at North Greenville University, in Greenville, South Carolina. I told her to give me the details and I would let her know.
They planned on leaving Thursday night, driving all the way through. And then leaving on Saturday night, driving all the way through. I thought about it and decided to go. How often to I ever get alone time with both my mom and brother? Never! So my brother picked me up and then we went to meet my mom. We headed out about 8:00 Thursday night. The trip down was about twelve hours.
We watched his game on Friday, which they won by the way. We went out to dinner and then walked downtown Greenville. If you have never been, you need to go. That place is awesome! The only good night sleep we got was on Friday night. We spent the night in a hotel. We got up on Saturday and watched two more of their games, which they won also. A three game sweep. Awesome. My brother who lives in Virginia came down and meet us all on Saturday also. Praise the Lord. We all went out to dinner with my nephew and his girlfriend. We headed for home about 10:40 pm. We arrived home at 11:00 am. So all in all, twenty four and a half hours of driving. Three baseball games. A real good sunburn. Lots of laughs and fellowship with my family! PRICELESS!! I thank GOD for these times! They don't come around very often, so when they do, I cherish them. Cherish every moment you have with your family, you never know when it might be the last. God bless my family! Every single one of them.
