This week I'm driving to Florida... with a stopover in Nashville for a day/night. My husband and ds are going too. My dad; however, just e-mailed me to tell me that a massive storm will he headed straight toward us!! (but at least it'll be gone by the time I GET to Fl.) Last year on the drive down we ran into tornado activity and on the way back... well we ran into more tornado activity. This will not stop me however... I'm determined to have a fantabulous time!! My stepmom has/had breast cancer, has gone through Chemo and radiation in the last year but we haven't been able to travel to see her or my dad since last June... and they haven't seen their grandson in almost a year and a half... SUCKS living so far away from family!! Anyone ever been to Nashville TN? if not.. YOU SHOULD.. it's not just for country music junkies like me!! the city is beautiful and the peeps are friendly!!

Dan took me to Nashville about 10 years ago. It was fabulous, but too fast. We've always wanted to go back. Good thing you didn't tell my Alice is about this! She would have BEGGED to come along and be your Mother's Helper!!! Cuz you would TOTALLY need a helper with just one kid ! ! ! LOL!!!
Have a FANTABULOUS time with the family! Good for for you!!!
Drive smart and stop when you get shleeeeeeppppppeeeee!!! You won't get there any faster if you fall alseep at the wheel!
Hugs! Sus

But were in FLorida now.. and were thinking of what to do now... Cocoa Beach tomorrow.. Tampa Wed... my sister is visiting sometime this week too... adn I really wanted to go to St. Augustine!! Can I cram it all in? Weather is great though... 80's all week!! WHOOT! mickey.. we had tons to do for ds is the car.. TONS, but he had gas so he screamed..and because it was raining we couldnt let him play outside at the rest stops, and the mcdonalds playareas were disgusting.. so we just let himrun around inside the reststop areas until we got to nashville... we drove overnight too.. and he would normally sleep.. but no.. only about 4 hours this time! hopefully the ride home will be better! We have things we want to do and see on teh way home that we didnt get to see on the way down.. and we won't be on a timeline!

yesterday we went to Cocoa Beach!! It was windy but beautiful.. I got some nice color, we made sand castles and collected seashells!! We watched surfers and tried to find pelicans! (we only found one). Being here makes me wish I could live here all the time... I'd love to have access to the ocean and the beach anytime I wanted to!! Today is ging to be 83... but rain and milder (70's) temps the next few days! We'll have to find some things to do indoors.. but for today.............. Is a pool day!

WERE BAAAAACK! But I wish I wasn't lol 83 degrees and sunny...... to... 50 degrees and cloudy.. sucky. The storms missed us competely and we only got a drizzle of rain (which felt great). We swam a lot, and I got to see an old friend... we visited Downtown Disney, free to park and get in and lots to see and lots of yummy places to eat and a lot of money to be spent in the shops!!!! Ghiradelli makes a fabulous milkshake!! Just gotta hold out for a few more years, then it's off to sunny weather for me!! Permanantly! And that means a place to vacation for my favorite peeps!
