Easter Trip to Florida 2009

WE'RE BACK!

We had a good trip with awesome weather. We spent a day at the beach, had breakfast and Easter service at Grandma's church, went to the dog park, visited my aunt (dad's half sister) in Lakeland. It was a short but busy visit. We ate at a really cool restaurant in Lakeland. It was a Mongolian grill where you put your own stirfry together. You put raw meat, vegetables and spices and sauce in bowls, give it to the cooks and they grill it in front of you. Very cool. The kids loved it. We went for a short walk and enjoyed ice cream at Cold Stone. Monday we were able to stop in Moultrie GA to have lunch with Amy Ward who I worked with and lived with at the Children's Home. it was great to see her. She hasn;t changed a bit and is still the sweet loving person she has always been.

I took Tuesday off and enjoyed a relaxing day to get back to reality. We've had very few kids at the daycare due to Spring break, I probably could have taken off the entire week!

Easter Trip to Florida

This trip has already started out rough. I was stuck at the daycare until 4pm, we still had a few things to pack and had to make 2 stops before actually getting on the road. We officially got on the road around 5pm. We are still in South Carolina. We stopped in T.R. for headphones at Wal-mart, then stopped for dinner in Seneca. It's alost 9pm. Not looking good. I'm hoping it gets better, but it is definately hard to drive late at night, especially when you've worked all day. Phillip had the day off, but he cleaned the house and ran errands, so he did work too.
So, at this point, we are still looking for the interstate to head toward Atlanta. We both wanted to drive straight through, but there may be a hotel in our future........
