Driving to Chillaxing.

Yesterday we drove 700+ miles from Mobile, Alabama to Weston, Florida. After packing up and locking down the boat, we packed up the car with the rest of our gear and all of us and headed down the road in the weighed down Prius. The drive was very long but luckily with more people in the car, there were more people to drive. Also, among other things, we had Hank to amuse us with his many positions throughout the car and his horrible gas. The drive didn't get too overwhelming, but we were all definitely excited to be done driving when we arrived at the "Vacation Village" around 10:30 at night.

The place we are staying at, which costs less than what we would be paying for a campsite here, is very nice with two bedrooms and three bathrooms including a jacuzzi, laundry, a patio, and a wonderful kitchen, which we are all very happy about after working with some less than prime cooking methods for the last couple months. We ended up making popcorn, drinking wine, chatting, and dancing to some Latin radio stations until early morning before settling down for a few hours.

We awoke to beautiful weather and lazy attitudes. Since we didn't have much food and were so excited about being out of the car and having a kitchen Jax, Caye, and I decided to walk over to the local Publix Grocery Store. None of us realized how far a mile or so walk was until walking back from the grocery store with enough groceries for a week for four people and a puppy. In the end though, it was all worth it because we had an amazing breakfast of toast, queso fresco, guava spread, and coffee before hanging out by the pool for a while.

 The post pool afternoon was spent with some heavy duty Food Channel watching while JnC (Jax and Caye) went through thousands of photos. As they continued to plug away at numerous projects Jena and I made a pasta dinner with garlic bread. The food turned out good and now we are all working on different projects, digesting, and wondering what tomorrow will bring.
