Well if you haven’t heard yet, WE MADE IT! Over the very exciting weekend of June 18-19, Grant and I made the journey to Florida. Google puts the trip at 1113 miles and about 20 hours. Fun times, right?
Adios Dallas!
(On a side note--thank you men of Firestone, on that Saturday afternoon yall were my heros)
Our "picnic"
Anyways with our initial plan, we left about 4-5 hours in to sleep. Oh well, one hour in the Mobile, Alabama Walmart parking lot was fun too!
27 hours later I rolled into St. Pete (Grant was about 2 hours behind me..did I mention that because of good engineering on the park of Uhaul, that the bronco/trailer combo couldn’t go faster than 60?? No…well that was fun too).
Well here are the 3 things I learned on the trip:
1. Book on tape = amazing. It kept me alive through Louisiana. Oh and people awake at 3am in Louisiana are most likely up to no good.
2. Calories don’t count at 5 in the morning in Alabama. Its all about survival at that point.
3. Grant is more amazing than I knew. He didn’t complain once (and he had to continue to drive 60 while I sped ahead when we got to Florida!). I’d like to pretend I didn’t but hour #4 in Tyler took its toll on me.
