Exit complete, IL to SC!!!
There's happy and then there's 
. It took me 68 years to get to SC, but well worth the wait. No IL taxes, gun control or weather. Plus just a little more drive time! Like year round!!
Sure, I'll miss the food, especially the Mom & Pop places, but it's time to discover new ones, which I'm sure we will. Drove the Corvette down last week from the kids house in Indy. Took 441 through the Smokies, just beautiful!!
Found a Club that has a Christmas parade photo on their FB page, that should be different!!
Back to unpacking boxes and trying to find a place for all the stuff we brought!!
To all my friends, God Speed, God Bless and most of all Stay Safe!

Great job that's awesome congrats! 
I would love to do the exact same thing but family has me stuck here. I will admit I am envious.
