Fifteen Hours Later

We ARE in Florida..after fifteen hours of traveling our first stop was the beach. Faith would not believe we were in Florida until she saw the beach! The sun had already set, but we didn't care. We took off our shoes and socks and walked on the sand. The tide was coming in so the water frequently brushed up against our feet. It was cold but we didn't care. The fresh breeze was so refreshing after the long ride.
We pulled out of our drive at 4:09 this morning. Faith was ready to color and to watch tv, but we talked her into sleeping for a little bit. The girls were great for most of the ride..they had a couple of moments but who wouldn't be cramped in the back of a car?!
We never paid more than $3.11 for gas, and at one point was able to get 29 miles to the gallon. We actually paid less than we expected to get down here...that rarely happens.
The weather is suppose to be cold tomorrow. Tonight is so suppose to set a record low...freezing! The high tomorrow 58! I thought we left that kind of weather; however, the rest of the week is suppose to be in the 80s.
Until next time...

Sorry we let you down. We over slept and decided to stay in Indiana. You should check out Camden's 18 mo. pics. I will email you the link! Have a great time and say "hi" to Mickey for us!

Cool about that the gas not being a back breaker. Now all you have to do is relax and enjoy the beech.

He means "beach". Isn't "beech" like "beechwood" aging they do to beer? Maybe he did mean "beech"!

Joe said...

I wish I could say I was being clever and meant the beechwood aging process of the world's finest beverage. But unfortunately, I was being "stuped" and simply misspelled beach. But since the subject was brought up, make sure you enjoy the beechwood aged world's finest beverage while you are in Florida.
