drive

We left at 7:12 AM after a quick breakfast. Stopped just before Florence for gas at 1.65 and a bacon-egg-cheese biscuit. The drive was easy but the car was loaded and gas mileage suffered. We stopped in Brunswick for lunch and more gas. I had a big mac and small fries. Went around Baldwin then down 301. We stopped at 2 Orange fruit stands looking for Honeybelles. I picked up the best OJ we ever had at the Orange shop in Citra. Took the route which almost takes us to Ocala before cutting over to I75. The trip was easy until we got to Tampa and got stuck in rush hour traffic with multiple accidents. IT was pretty slow going through there. We had to get gas again in Bradenton since the gas gauge was showing empty and I didn't want the chance of running out. Got into the condo at 7:30 which was a bit longer than normal. It was just over 12 hours. We went out to dinner at the Italian Grill and had a pizza and beer. Their pizza is very good. All in all, this was a pretty good day. I'm going to try to point out some beauty every day. Today it was an old 2 story house visible through some Oak Trees covered with Spanish Moss. We saw it as I drove by on 301 below Waldo but above Ocala. The other beauty is of course the Georgia wetlands with sawgrass.
