We left the DVD player at the hotel in Port St. Joe. The only explanation for this is that we are completely exhausted. So we have one very squirrelly back seat passenger who has already watched all the downloaded movies…
Into The South
Just had amazing beignets at Cafe Du Monde in the French quarter. Now we’re on I-10 heading into Florida, the final leg of our road trip. The south has welcomed us back with plenty of “y’all’s” and the hospitality of…
Road trip
We hit the road Monday around 2:30. Here’s a recap of where we’ve been so far. Gallup, NM – This is as far as we got the first night. Stopped at two different hotels before we found a room. Guess…
