FL: The Culture




Not sure what to make of this, other than to say we're doing our best to learn/enjoy the culture.

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

FL: Apalachicola

Blackened shrimp, fried green beans, aligator burger, raw oysters on the half shell, and a whole slew of cajun hot sauces. And beer. Great day.

FL: Enjoying the beach

F or B: Mexico Beach! We've arrived

F or B: The last leg, Part 2

We crossed the FL State line with a sleeping car. But now that we can see ocean along the highway for most the remainder of the drive, it's getting harder to contain our excitement. Plus, we put on our swimsuits at the last stop in Mobile so we can hit the beach as soon as we arrive. Woohoo!

F or B: The last leg

John's got the iPod rocking, coffee in hand, and sunflower seeds to keep him going during the last 3 hours of our 1900 mile trek. We crossed the Florida State line 30 minutes ago. 3 and half hours to go!

F or B: Ocean Spotted! Mobile, AL

F or B: The Watermelon Patch on our way to Mobile, AL

F or B: Central Mississippi

F or B: Overnight in Mississippi

Taken in-- you guessed it-- Monroe, Louisiana.

F or B: Messin' with Texas

F or B: Burnt Orange Country

F or B: Road Warriors

F or B: Texas

Everything's bigger in Texas...except Piper's bladder; pulled overt at the state line.

F or B: Boomer Sooner

University of Oklahoma, next four exits.

F or B: Perry, OK

Uhhhh. What would you say happened here?

F or B: Runaround

F or B: Salina, KS

This photo really needs no description.

F or B: Settled In

Crafts, coloring, tunes and movies; we're officially settled in to our road rhythm.

F or B: Nap Time

All quiet on the western (Kansas) front.

F or B: Spider in the Sequoia

Snakes on a Plane it was not, but Linde just killed a big hairy orange spider on my back, only after it bit Piper twice. Nothin' good happens in Kansas.

F or B: Kansas state line

We're in Kansas. So we've got that going for us.

F or B: Lunch

A little kid rite of passage: roadtrip fast food.

F or B: Burlington, CO

Florida or Bust!

So the family vacation roadtrip began yesterday from Grand Junction. We hit a friend's wedding in Denver last night on our way through and picked up our partners in crime for the trip, Steve and Amy and their kids. We left Denver this morning and have enjoyed great weather. We'll be blogging from the road so stay tuned.
