So apparently there is no direct route from Pine Mountain to I-75, southbound. The end result for us was a tour of rural Georgia that was most unexpected. We traveled through iconic locations such as Ideal, Georgia. Which sadly had a very ironic name. Sorry, Ideal. Also, one of Daddy's favorites was Lilly, Georgia. It was so small that you know those Christmas decorations they hang up on the telephone poles scattered through the main parts of towns? Lilly, Georgia had ONE. One telephone pole with a stray decoration on it.
Our favorite parts of this journey were through the fields of cotton, which were a wonderful sight to behold. Seas of white, as far as the eye could see. We were in Dooly County when we happened upon field after field of the white stuff, enough to amaze all of us in the car.
It was all part of a pretty long day, and a really long drive. Right now, Daddy is typing from Satellite Beach, watching a full moon hang high over the rough waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Madison is working on a Christmas-themed coloring book, although earlier she was working on a story she was writing. Yes, she was writing a story in the car. It's a few pages long, and has a LOT of words on each page. Madison felt inspired to write a Christmas story, one that involves all the characters from "Lord of the Rings" at a Christmas party. She was quite proud of the end result, as Mommy was reading it in the car. Daddy and Mommy were proud too! She was using her spare time to write a story! How creative! And she also made some turkey art, in full color as well. It will be a nice decoration for the condo here. Also, she watched ALL of the "Liberty Kids" on DVD. Daddy picked that one up from the library because Madison has a report on Paul Revere coming up. Madison was spouting off facts about Abigail Adams from the back seat, and we were just amazed at how educational this drive down was!
We got to Florida, where things are cool, but much warmer. Here's Captain Citrus and Madison, both enjoying a nutritious glass of orange juice, always compliments of the Florida Welcome Center. We're big fans of Captain Citrus!
This morning at Callaway Gardens, it was in the 30's. Frost was on the cars in the parking lot. We got ready quickly in the hotel, and were off pretty quick. And it was a good thing too - we got to the condo here just as the sun was setting. Nana and Ba-Ba had a wonderful meal prepared, and it has been nice just resting and spending time with them once again.
So hello from Satellite Beach, and yes, that's three times in one year. I don't know about any swimming this time of year, but we'll certainly have a lot of relaxing on the itinerary. Oh, and there's probably going to be some eating on Thursday...!
