Day 2 Pics

Don't you wish you were a dog! These two did such a great job on Day 1 and it looks like we were getting a good start to Day 2. We took a walk in the morning before getting in the car and it looks like it wore them out! It was HOT in Virginia when we left, the locals were expecting record highs.






It didn't seem to take us long to get to North Carolina, but it sure did seem to take a long time to get THROUGH it.











North Carolina had these beautiful fields of flowers all over the state! Trust me, it was a lot of flowers. We think they were some sort of Lily, but its hard to tell when your going 70 mph.









South of the border welcomes you! You NEVER SAUSAGE A PLACE! No, we didn't skip straight to Mexico, this HUGE sombrero is the reason I missed the South Carolina sign, I'm not doing to well getting all the signs. We didn't stop this trip, but they have a fireworks store, something to do with reptiles, some food, a strange hat store, a hotel, and some defunct rides. I understand you can ride an elevator to the top of the Sombrero for a fee.






I guess the folks in South Carolina knew I would miss their sign, and gosh darn they are so polite they said "goodbye". While we were in South Carolina we had lunch and bought some water. The lady at the CVS was so nice that when Tony picked a kind of water, she told him to go back and get the cheaper water, no rush, just didn't want him to spend too much. They were so nice we thought they might ask us to stay.





Welcome to the state where Tony and I met. He was stationed in South Georgia when we first met. We stopped here for gas and "old times" sake. Kings Bay still looks the same, funny how some things don't change.








We were surprised to find we made it to Florida on the 2nd day. At this point Mica was going crazy and had been trapped in the car for too long. We stopped for dinner. Jacksonville was surprisingly big! Also we drove past some pine trees that had been destroyed in a fire a few years back, I was surprised at how fast they go. Just natures way of saying that when you loose everything, the only thing left to do is grow, learn, and rebuild.





So now we have been here in Florida a few days and the heat is starting to feel more tolerable. The pool definitely helps. We are planning to go to Universal and do something fun besides that, like maybe para sail! We will keep up all update when we get a chance to get some internet. Hope you all have a great weekend! Happy Friday!
