We are here in Florida now! We decided to leave when James got home from work on Monday night and drive about half way so we could break it up a bit. It is about 10 hours total.It was quite an adventure- you have to go on some back road county highways- no interstates. We were definitely BACK WOODS ALABAMA there for awhile! We played "dodge the animals" all the way there! There were deer darting out, coyote darting out, oh and people kept brighting us. So after a few cars turning their brights on us, James said- dang, are your lights just really bright or what? The next car that came up flicked their brights so James tried to flick his brights back, but they got turned on- not just flicked. Um.. ya it was a cop- so he flipped around and pulled us over! I was laughing! He was nice and gave us a warning.We could barley understand him with his THICK southern drawl! It was pretty funny! We drove to Albany GA and then stayed the night there. In the morning we got up and got going again. We stopped at a gas station to get gas and then got back on the nice little 2 lane highway (if you can even call it that) just as James set the cruise control here is another police officer behind us pulling us over! I guess the speed limit on the "HIGHWAY" went down to 45 for a short little stretch. We thought it was 55. SO, James got a ticket for going 62 in a 45! Ya $175!! I wanted to ask the officer if I could take a picture of him for our blog- but thought that might not be a good idea! :) Needless to say- we drove very careful through Georgia! Once we hit the interstate people were driving faster and we felt better about going a little faster too!! It was 80 degrees when we got here! SO NICE!! I think we are going to try to go to the beach today so I'll get more pics! I just wanted to post our first little stretch of the trip!!!

Oh my gosh, what luck with the police. I was laughing so hard reading about the brights. That's exactly the kind of thing that would happen to James. That'll have to be one to add to the list of "stories to tell at gatherings" . . . you know, like the Haunted Forest story?!
2 cop run ins, what more could you ask for? Hope you have a great time and enjoy the warm, warm weather. I think we might hit a high of 38 today. Wahoo!!
I am so Jealous! For the warm weather! And The trip! your soooo lucky!
Can I get a picture of the ticket. Ha HA world's most safe driver get's a ticket. That is as priceless as this guy I know who got road rage in orem, and then could not get back into his own car. By the way this morning when I woke up we had the same temp as what was on your blog (but the numbers were backwards)
Haha..that is too funny about the cops! Hopefully, it goes better from you on the way home ;) Have a fun trip!
