We always drive. We actually enjoy the road trip! This time, it was a little more stressful because of the crazy spring break traffic, which we had never experienced before. But, it was still fun. The best part of our road trip was the stop half way there to see my sister, brother-in-law and kids in Georgia.
It was only one overnight, which was entirely too short, but it was so great to see them!
We brought Kismet along with us on this trip. She's simply too old and fraile to board at the vet, so we checked Sunny in for a week and Kismet got to go with us. Katie said, "she's really checking a lot of things off her bucket list this week!" Hilarious!
She was a pampered pooch and i think she enjoyed herself. The kids set her up with a cushy bed in the van.
She was a little confused about the rental house and it took her a few days to get the feel of her surroundings. But, for the most part, she did wonderfully.
Mark does all of the driving...by choice. And, I don't usually sleep during our drives. I love looking at and taking pictures of the signs, the other cars, unusual sights, funny things, weird things. Here's just a few of the things i captured...
this is always a uneasy sight...
we've past these signs for years...what is Rock City? and, will i ever see it? probs not...
About half way between home and Florida is McDonough, Georgia!
And, if that weren't cool enough, the next town over is Griffin, Georgia! Oh yes, he loves driving past all of the signs with his name on them.
We bought the Hunger Games audio book and loaded it on my iphone and listened to it the whole way there.
Katie was the only one who had read it and seen the movie. Then, for the trip home, we uploaded the 2nd Hunger Games book. We still haven't finished it. It was very long! On the last day of break, we took the kids to see the movie. It was really good. It's a very sad story and a little bit disturbing, but going to the movies was a fun way to wrap up our break.
Sunny was so happy to have us home. We couldn't wait to see that face again!
