April 30, 2009

I am so tired, but still so keyed up to think that we are in our last few weeks here in the states. Not to mention we are headed to Southern Florida where I have never been so it is cool to watch everything as we drive. Art stopped at a rest stop somewhere in NJ last night about 5 am to get a little rest. I won’t drive in the city so he is stuck and we are all just way too tired to drive anymore. It was really cold out we had to keep starting the car to de-frost the windows and warm up a little. About 7 we were back on the road. Michael has slept since we left Scott and Min’s and never even knew we stopped. Must be nice to be a kid and be able to sleep anywhere. We hope to drive to North or South Carolina today should be about a 12 or so hour drive. Well battery is dying so that’s all for now.

I am back. We made it to North Carolina! We are staying at a hotel that has a pool and is really comfortable. We took showers went across the street to a Cracker Barrel to eat some lunch/dinner, and then went back for a nap. We got up about 7 and went for a swim. Michael and Art are still down there now enjoying the pool. I am just so tired at this point from all the pack and driving and everything else in the last few days that I have no energy. The drive wasn’t too bad today. Art drove for a few hours then I took over. I drove through VA we went right by Leesburg and Sterling. I really wanted to stop but we will be back by there in a week to see the Zoller’s. The traffic in VA was nuts! It took us about 2 hours to go about 70 miles. But it was just stop and go so nothing horrible I guess.

We are staying here till around 2 am then it is back up and on the road so we can make it to Pembroke Pines Fl by around 4 in the afternoon. But after some rest, food and showers we should be ready to go the rest of the way.
