11 June 2010

What a good day and a lot of miles covered. We are currently in Tallahassee, FL., having left New Orleans this morning at about 0800a. Rather than coming straight here we did take a couple of detours.

Went to Gulfport, MS. and saw the Gulf of Mexico for the first time. Beautiful white sugary sand. (which will probably never come out of the car). Got into the water, as far as possible and it was just great. No sign of oil. Drove along the coast for a few miles and when road ended got back onto highway.

Further on, got off main highway and went to Ft. Walton Beach and Destin, FL. Again beautiful white sand and this time clearer water. But it was warm and could not leave Splash unattended. (Beaches are NOT pet friendly!)










Again it was a warm (read HOT) and humid day. We have covered about 1,100 miles so we're about 1/2 way to Deale, MD.

Splash report: doing better when left alone in the hotel room. And is now sleeping most of the day in the car. Did NOT like the hotel last night. To noisy in the halls so he had to "protect" us.

Not sure what tomorrow will bring but it will bring something.

Enjoy...and love to all...

p.s. forgot to mention how much I dislike changing time zones. We lost an hour just outside of Tallahassee, therefore ate dinner late and slept in...
