Saturday Snapshot...Moving and Traveling


As many of you know, I've been in the hectic process of moving from North Florida to Virginia Beach. I lived here eight years ago and always loved it. When my husband was offered a great opportunity, we decided to snag it since I work from home and I can move my base operations anywhere. We had several delays in moving due to that lil hussy Irene, but we finally arrived this week and are in the slow process of unpacking in our new home and getting settled in. Although I'd love to continue walking down memory lane of my honeymoon in Italy two years ago, it's probably best that I share current pictures...

For more of this week's Saturday Snapshots, or if you'd like to participate, please visit Alyce with At Home With Books.

On the road...

Popular tourist site in South Carolina "South of the Border"

My husband's 1969 Chevelle...we love, love this car.

    Juju at Tales of Whismy.com - The car is a dream, so much fun to drive it. Granted, it was on the car trailer and we were pulling it - I don't know if my husband would have wanted to drive 10 hours in the Chevelle! :) We didn't take any pics with the statues because we were so tired - bathroom breaks only and then I got bored so was taking quick shots! Next time :)

    Damn I love that car. I can't think of a better way to drive to a new home and new adventure. Are you still coming to SIBA?

    Oh, that car reels me back into a nostalgic time! Since none of the other images in the photo with the car tell us about what time period you're in, you could almost be back in the sixties!

    Thanks for sharing.

    I've lived in South Carolina three times and have never been to South of the Border. I'm glad things went so well.

    I love Virginia Beach! We went on a road trip a couple of years ago all along the East Coast and Virginia Beach was one of our favorite stops. Great pictures...they give off a nostalgic mood.

    Oh wow, love your car! I have an old car too but not in a cool way like yours, just in a falling apart kind of way! :P

    Very nice car, and I love the effects that you have done on all these pictures! I know it's a big deal to leave it all behind and move, but here's hoping that you love your new place and have a great time there!

    A Chevelle?! You can't find many of those anymore. An old friend of mine had one in Philadelphia Flyers orange. It was so shiny you would slide off it. Glad you made it to your new home safe and sound :)
