On the Road

This has pretty much been the gloomy scenery we have seen



Aren't my blondies cute?



We pretty much all look like bums on the second day of traveling



Lucy makes herself at home inbetween the front seats



Rod gets the fun job!

On one of our gas stops, Rod and the kids spotted some cars across the street. I think it was some type of racing store. So they stopped and went in, While Meagan & I stayed in the Motorhome and made sandwiches for lunch



This is Meag barely out of Hobe Sound!

Well lets see, where do I begin. The ultimate goal was to try and be on the road at noon on Friday. Lets just say that was a goal but it wasn't met and I knew going into it after Thursday it would not be realistic.
After a late night on Thursday I slept until almost 9 AM. That's late for me. But givin the circumstances it was needed, but yet not long enough. I woke up tired and remained that way all day!
We started with Breakfast and from there proceeded to clean the house and pack the motorhome. Now I usually like several days to do all this, take my time and organize as I go, do laundry etc. But it just didn't happen this time. My boss wouldn't let me off work to do any of this. He just can't live without me or find anything at the office if I'm not there.
I saw right away this was going to be a one sided thing. I was going to kill myself doing it all because the kids were too interested in checking out their presents they had opened. This was definately not the way we like to do Christmas. But circumstances just made it this way this year. Anyhow, I finally realized after awhile that trying to clean and pack at the same time wasn't working other than washing clothes and drying, so the program had to change. We decided packing needed to be the priority and then cleaning last.
Lets just say, my house isn't as clean as I would like it to be when we leave, but it will be there waiting for me when I get back.
We finally proceeded to get in the motorhome and try and head out about 3pm. Hey only 3 hrs off schedule, not too bad. Wrong! Rod had a few stops to make and I did too, so he went with the kids and motorhome and trailer and I went another way and we met up and hooked on the van out by 95 at cracker barrel. Well, of course we still needed some groceries and we had failed to eat lunch, so a stop was in order. We made it to Pt. St. Lucie and grabbed McD's and got some things at Target and hit the Ft, Pierce Turnpike about 7pm. Where did all that time go?
Needless to say, we drove untill 12:30AM , we were just south of Valdosta Ga when we stopped. We slept and got on the road about 8AM this morning.
It's 6:30pm and we have just hit the Kentucky line. Yeah! only about 4hrs or so to go. I guess it will be a late night. It's cold!! 50 degrees.
