Florida Trip - Day 1

We left Marion at :


Yes, 4:05 in the AM.









We made it an entire hour before we had to stop at the Hillsville exit for breakfast and a bathroom break.  Brady and I went into the bathroom and he walked in the stall and picked up something PLASTIC and showed it to me.   Of course you can guess what it was - yes a feminine hygiene product.  In the items defense, it did not appear to be dirty but I made him scour his hands before he used the bathroom.

After leaving Hillsville, we made it all of the way through North Carolina without a stop.  We made up for it in South Carolina.  Two bathroom stops in South Carolina, a gas stop, another stop at the Georgia welcome center that took a little while because we walked around and the final stop was in Florida at a Wendy's with a horrible long line.  After leaving Wendy's we were at Jessica's within thirty minutes.

After watching the end of the race, Uncle Chris made it home.  He had a box for Brady - which we told Brady had a cat in it.  Brady was very patient, but finally kept asking if he could see the cat.  Well,  the box came out and here was what was inside:

A dress hat

Brady's favorite hat

A super cool  vest with all kinds of surprises in it (grenades, flashlight, hook, etc)

Gas mask with the vest and new dog tags

Brady, Uncle Chis and Kenzie

Aunt Jessica in the gas mask

Brady with his entire stash!

A super annoying alarm that buzzes loudly - we have to lose this!

NO CAT!!

We had pizza from Papa Johns and now we are watching Ghost Busters II (Brady's choice).  He is playing dress up with all of his cool stuff.  Jessica and I are sitting on the couch with blankets over us even though it is about 80+ degrees in Florida.

We are all winding down and have a big day tomorrow!  Hopefully we will be seeing Mickey in the morning!
