Well my nephew and I made it back home.
We was at Murphy NC at a nice campground called Crawford's Campground.
I had a wonderful time and got some nice photos.
LOL I took OVER 400 photos of it. 
I still have to process them and see just what I got.
It was about an 8 HR drive getting there but it was really worth it.
About 4 hours out of the house and about 1/2 way there, I turned to my Nephew and said that I think I REALLY screwed up.
He asked what I did this time and I said that I had forgot to pack my big telephoto lense for my camera <DUH> 
I have a 400mm lense with a 2X doubler to make it 800 mm.
It was sitting here next to my computer LOL
Luckily my brother had a 300mm lense that I got to use. It wasnt nearly as good as mine but it still worked out.
The trip coming back home was a nightmare. I knew that we would get into heavy traffic but not as bad as it was.
We left the campground just after totality and just before 3pm, we didnt get home till just before 3am
it was a 12 hour trip just to get back home. 3 1/2 hours was an average speed of 14mph.
We even stopped for about 45 min to get some supper and let the car cool down some.
LOL as soon as we got home and got the important stuff unloaded (diaper bag, camera, food, etc) I started to upload the photos from my camera to my computer then I went to bed.
Here is one of the photos that I took during totality. 
Schoppy
