We're here. Almost, anyway.

They were planting palm trees aplenty at the Welcome Centre. Thank you.

Orange for me. Grapefruit for Hubby.
He drank both.

The reason we're here.

What a goof.

Okay, now I know why there were only kids sitting here before me. These are not designed for middle-aged behinds. I'm lucky I got out.

We have been in the car for 18 hours, 16 and a half of which have been in motion. Less than half an hour to the Florida Welcome Centre. OJ will be had!

But first, we need to fill up on cheap Georgia gas.

OJ or grapefruit - what's your pleasure?

Grapefruit. We ate breakfast at Captain's Grille one year and the waitress asked if I wanted a refill on my grapefruit juice. I said we were getting ready to leave and she offered to put it in a "to go" cup with a lid and a straw. I drank that juice on the walk the whole way to Soarin'.

We are, of course, carrying on to Port Richey. SatNav says three hours. SatNav does not know about rush hour traffic. Stupid SatNav.

As you can see, the sky is a brilliant blue. The wind is brisk, it's 61F, and there's nary a flake of snow in sight. I'll take it.

Could someone please remind me to pick up a bubble wand from DS on Sunday for SIL.

Hubby wants one too. As does Ski. I'm sure Son #1 will also want one once he sees them.

Could someone please remind me to pick up four bubble wands from DS on Sunday for various people.

Tried to take a pic of the "Welcome to Georgia" sign; somehow ended up taking a pic of myself.

Good thing I'm not driving, eh?

We'll be in Georgia for quite a while. I remember the first time we drove, we were like, "Yay, only one more state, we're almost there!"

Ummmmm no, Georgia is like the Energizer bunny. It just keeps going and going.
Try Illinois coming from Wisconsin.

No problem adding another night, so we're good to go. Same room, for six nights instead of five. So much for not driving straight through! :rolleyes:

Here's the room. It ain't no Hilton, but it's fine.

Queen beds. :(
No Kings were available when we booked.

An actual closet ... which has since been stuffed to overflowing with Blue Jays jerseys. Seriously, I brought one, Hubby brought five. And two Jays jackets.

One bed for sleeping, one for souvenirs. What's the issue?

Boy oh boy, dinner pics are going to be lame. We've both been up for 30+ hours and are fading fast.

As soon as I got up to the room, I scarfed down a protein bar, and brushed my teeth.

Pretty sure we're just going to hit the Olive Garden (be nice, we don't have any in Ontario), and I'll just be eating salad. Calling it now - Hubby will have the Tour of Italy and peach iced tea.

That's assuming he doesn't fall asleep in the shower.
