Day 1
May 31, 2011
We left at 6:02a.m., right on time! WE had an easy drive through Atlanta and then stopped twice - gas, money, Starbucks and potty break. We made it to the Florida state line in great time.
While driving, I listened to the Rob Lowe memoir (audio CD), while the kids watched a movie on the new DVD player - with headphones! The audio book is great, Rob Lowe actually is the reader and he is an awesome storyteller - with impersonations and everything.
We stopped in Gainesville for gas and lunch (Publix). I'm attempting to save money by making our own lunch (sandwiches). The kids are not happy - spoiled. Today's menu: PB&J. We were on the turnpike in no time and made it to Jensen Beach by 4:00p.m.
Our hotel was really nice - a newly renovated Courtyard. We swam for a little bit and then hit the road, looking for dinner (I'd left a message for Pauline, but she didn't call back). I got a salad to go for the hotel Bistro and then ended up taking the kids to McDonald's. I took them for a drive after, it was a nice balmy night.
Back at the hotel it was TV time - America's Got Talent. It was terrible, but the kids loved it. I painted my toes and then did Audie's nails. Lights out by 10:00p.m.
