Day 12
June 11, 2011
We got up early - courtesy of Bear - around 7. It was kind of a crazy morning, trying to get everyone fed, packed, and the car loaded...one tiny elevator in the back of the hotel.
Our first stop was the Capitol. As it was a Saturday, in June, it was pretty empty and we toured it without incident! The kids even did a scavenger hunt.
Next, we hit the FSU campus. Took them to the book store and the Business School. I felt oddly detached...I was there for so short a time. Then we went to the library & they let us go inside. So different! All computers:(. The phone both, where I used to call Barb (crying), which led to her inviting me to live with her and her dad to attend FAU - was still there! Couldn't believe it!
It was soooo HOT. The kids complained, constantly.
We hit I10 for Mobile at noon. I listened to "Ten Habits of Healthy Moms" - happy to report I already have a couple of them! I10 was b-o-r-i-n-g, but we got to Mobile by 4 p.m.
The hotel is awesome! The kids were so excited because it's tall, like a skyscraper - 20 something floors. We got a room on floor 18, with a beautiful view of Mobile Bay.
We walked all around downtown & found a pizza joint to eat in (so-so food). When we got back to the hotel, we played Sorry and watched iCarly and Victorious...all night...zzzz....
