We recently drove from Minnesota to Florida. It only took us six days. We love our yearly road trip. One of the best parts is seeing people along the way - sharing joys and sorrows.
We shared plenty of each.
When we stopped in Atlanta we had last minute plans to make for our wedding which will take place in that city on December 28th. Most important was driving to the downtown Atlanta courthouse to get our marriage license - a surreal experience. Of course we've both done it before but that was in 1960.
Just sos you know, this is not a romantic experience. You have to stand behind the line until they invite you to the counter. And just answer the questions, no fooling around. When we received our document it came with a lovely pamphlet on HIV.
But, all in all, we had a good time.
We stopped at our favorite Comfort Inn in Tennessee. It sits on a hill and has twinkle lights streaming all the way to the highway. My kinda place.
You may not know this but Dave loves vending machine cappuccino. So we brake for rest stops. As we drove through our nine states to get to Florida he was disappointed with Georgia. No coffee machines at the rest stops. What's up with that, Georgia?
But, as I said, all in all, we had another fun trip.
