Roadtrip

Ahhh, it is that time of year...Vacation-time! School starts in a few weeks. And I feel thrashed from a rough year. I'm ready to take off and forget about deadline, commitments, schedules and such. So, we headed out on a 375 mile trip to Paradise. There was all sorts of excitement: a high speed chase on I-65, stalls, wrecks, dumb drivers, lots of road construction and traffic jams. The worst traffic jam was a two hour wait going north through Montgomery. Thank goodness we were headed south! The drive got better after Montgomery, because we left I-65 and got on the country roads. Sometimes it felt like this is how fast we were traveling...


Cletus suggested that we play Redneck I-Spy. The object is to point out the most redneck items on a porch. We saw all sorts of appliances and furniture (including a huge console TV), a confederate flag, a life-sized nativity scene, Christmas lights and a full-sized car. By the time, we made it to the beach, we were ready to eat dinner and collapse. A long drive, but well worth it!!
