Grand Rapids to Florida to Charleston to Florida to LAX to San Diego. Phew.

This week was a lay-off week for the tour. With no city booked and the trucks having to get from Grand Rapids, MI to San Diego, CA in a week, the cast and crew got some time off. Eric had Monday and Tuesday off, but flew out to L.A. for the rest of the time to do press for the show. We had a great time on Monday and Tuesday just spending some stress-free time together. We drove an hour to The Barn Theatre (where Eric and I met) on Tuesday to introduce Soph and reminisce.









On Wednesday, Soph an I headed to FL and Eric headed out to L.A. He did tons of press in San Diego and Los Angeles. If you haven't seen his show, Shrek:The Musical, yet, these cities are your last chance to see Eric. It ends in 4 short weeks. See it. It's so great!
I got all our business in Orlando taken care of like getting our car packed with our L.A. things and ready for pick up. We are having our car transported to Los Angeles. We've done this a few times on the tour and found it to be a good situation for us. You do cross your fingers that your car won't fall off the truck on the highway though. Here's hopin'! Friday, we drove to Charleston for my cousins wedding.




We were there for the weekend, spending the days exploring downtown followed by the rhsl dinner the first night and the wedding the next night. Fleet's Landing and Hyman's Seafood were my favorite places to eat.




We did stop at Paula Deen's Lady and Sons in Savannah on our way up though and I must say, they had some goooood hoe cakes.  Sophie couldn't be tempted with the fried chicken.




We love Charleston and have been quite a few times. My granddad Turner did 2 tours of duty on the USS Laffey, which sits at Patriots Point. We've toured the ship a few times with him and it's such a cool experience when you have somebody who lived it to show you the ropes. It was being repaired this time, so I guess we have a good excuse to come back. Monday, the 4th of July, we drove back to FL. The very next morning, Soph and I flew to San Diego. She did great, once again. My thighs took a beating from having her stomp on then for hours in the plane ride, but she was a happy baby for the entire almost 5 hours. Wow! On the connector from LAX to San Diego, she got her own big girl seat. I still held her tight, but she loved sitting like an adult.  Safety 1st!!
