It was a quick and easy drive today, the only traffic being in Atlanta. Go figure. But surprisingly, we drove right through Henry County without any incident. It was Saturday, so that may have a lot to do with the ease of our travels today. We left at noon, and arrived at the Florida Welcome Center at 4:45, and then at the condo in Daytona at 8:00.
One problem: there was no orange juice at the Florida Welcome Center. When pressed, the workers there told us that there were "state budget cuts." This is a devastating turn of events! No orange juice at the Florida Welcome Center? What's that about? I mean, really! I remember getting free orange juice at the welcome center when I was a kid, and that was quite some time ago. What I'm saying is that this is a tradition that goes back years! In fact, today we were racing against time just to get to the Florida Welcome Center before it closed at 5:00, just so we could get that little Dixie cup with orange juice in it.
But alas, all we got was a mouthful of disappointment. Friends, if anything, this looks like a job for Captain Citrus!
Obviously, it's not "budget cuts," but in fact a desperate plan by that despicable villain The Leader, a gamma-enhanced evil genius! If Captain Citrus sees this, I know he'll agree: this madness stops here!
There is orange injustice going on right now, I tell you. If these theme parks charge $110 per ticket just to get in for one day - and that's the low price on an off season day - then they can all unite and to help the Florida tourism board afford to give us a small cup of orange juice. Think of how this is harming some local orange groves anyway - there are farmers out there that had a good thing going, supplying oranges to the welcome centers. Now they're suffering too. Who's idea was this?
Obviously, it was not the idea of local politicians, because it is too nefarious and evil! Therefore, it must be the work of the Leader, gamma-enhanced evil genius. I don't know what he's up to here, but I do know this: Captain Citrus stopped him once, and he can do it again. So if you're reading this, Captain Citrus, we need your help desperately!
Our trip to Florida was pretty uneventful today. We were listening to Riders Radio, catching up a little on that podcast (and a few others), and Madison was spending her time listening to music, watching "Star Wars Rebels" and drawing pictures in the back seat of the car. We stopped at Cordelle's Chick-Fil-A again, but only briefly this time, as Mommy had packed some great lunches for us on the way down.
We spent some time watering plants and getting the house in shape before leaving this morning, also packing a lot of items. It was a relaxing exit, and a relaxing drive down with nothing really going on. That's what we prayed for as we left, and we felt a great deal of favor as we moved south. Expect for the orange juice thing.
The weather is windy down here, but that's the beach for you. It's warm and the waves are crashing up on the shore pretty hard. There are storms way out there, but nothing will affect us this week, at least it's not being forecast to do so. It was a warm greeting here, and everyone is doing well. Obviously, we're here for Ba-Ba, who is not doing well. His spirits are up and he's certainly thinner. There is concern, but there is more hope than anything else. He is upbeat and he is a fighter and he is not going to put up with cancer trying to ruin his life. We will help him through this as best we can, particularly Mommy. She's been already busy, bringing things down to help Ba-Ba gain some weight and help him through this season. We prayed tonight for Ba-Ba once again, and prayed for a quick process and a quick recovery. We were thankful for the safe trip down and the happy reunion. Now we focus on Ba-Ba, and we focus on helping him see healthy days again.
