We made it to Florida on Sunday after a night in the camper! After the promised free pancakes and waffles, we started the long process of packing up. Now I know why people don't go camping in a trailer for one night at a time. It was a hassle to get everything hooked up just to pull up stakes 14 hours later. The campground was pleasant though, and the kids got to swim while it was dark which ranked high in the cool factor.
After a long ride, we finally made it to Aunt Donna's house Sunday afternoon. It took longer than we hoped, but we managed to pass 10 vehicles, so yeah for our going 60 mph. The dog traveled a little better (i.e. no accidents in the actual van), but she's still a jerk because she had an accident at Aunt Donna's within two hours of her arrival.
I have to give Harry props. I was aghast at the idea that we didn't have a plan for what dates we'd be in what place, but after the first night, we decided to change the plan for camping on the gulf coast (provided they don't sustain damage from Colin) to stay for a longer stretch because it takes so much effort to set up. I'm still not a fan of winging it, but in this case, it may just work out for us.
Yesterday, we managed a few hours at Legoland before the rain started from tropical storm Colin. In the afternoon, we went to see the Angry Birds Movie. With the rain lasting through today, I'm not sure what's next. Perhaps a visit to the Florida Aquarium? I love watching the garden eels there!
The effects from Colin aren't terrible. Times of heavy downpours, some thunder and lightening, and an occasional breeze, so all in all, we're doing well down here.
