Another good day to help get this trip back onto a good start. Had lunch with my sister-in-law then went and found some good deals at the mall. After that I just relaxed the rest of the afternoon until my niece got home and I played some games with her for a little while. Dinner was had with a good friend down here in south Georgia and her soon to be husband. It’s always good to see good friends when you are in town.
Tomorrow me, my twin brother, my sister-in-law, niece, and nephew will be heading down to Panama City Beach for the weekend. I haven’t been down to PCB since I lived down here, has to be at least 10 years ago. I am looking forward to some quality beach time with family and am going to shut off all electronic devices until we get back home Sunday afternoon. This means I will not be putting out any blog updates until Sunday night.
Until then,

Day two, estimates and time with friends.
Day two was definitely better than day one, didn’t have to talk with any cops and didn’t have any more fender benders. I did go and get estimates on the damage I suffered yesterday and got all that paperwork up to my insurance agent this afternoon. Now I just have to wait to hear from the ladies insurance company so that I can submit the claim. Hopefully I can get everything taken care and get repairs done in two weeks when I am home for a couple of day before starting phase two of the trip.
Here is my planned itinerary for the entire trip. Of course the dates are always subject to change:
Until tomorrow,

Summer Trip Day One
Today was the first day of my summer road trip. I drove from my house in Tennessee down to my twin brothers in south Georgia, which is where I will be at for the next week.
I got everything packed up yesterday afternoon and got on the road this morning around 1000 EST. I decided to stop and get some lunch around noon and then stopped to top off my fuel after lunch. I am sitting there waiting for a lady in a Xterra to pull out so that I can pull up to the pump. Well she decided that she would rather back up, and she also decided not to look before backing up. That means that she backs straight into my brand new car that I just made the first payment on the day before. Of course her car didn’t sustain any damage but my car now has a bumper with a slight dent and a cracked grill.
Not really how I wanted to start my trip, hopefully it isn’t a sign of things to come. Tomorrow will now be spent going out and getting some estimates on what it is going to cost to get repaired and then getting all the paperwork to my insurance agent so that she can handle dealing with her insurance company for me.
Until tomorrow,
Merch
Here are some pics of the damage:
