We were on the road at 7:05 AM this morning and the weather all day was very accommodating........ we actually had no rain the entire drive. And with the exception of the Orlando area traffic moved right along. Orlando, on the other hand between the amusement park traffic and the construction was terrible. It was bumper to bumper slow slow traffic that seemed to last forever. We've already decided that we will NOT go home that way. And so by the end of the day we had passed through Orlando, Jacksonville, Georgia and into the State of South Carolina.
And so let me share a few of our favorite and not so favorite sites...... including the nasty construction in Orlando...... the rivers and bridges........ and I can't remember where we saw it.........the US Air Force airplane........
We arrived at the Quality Inn and Suites in Ridgeland, SC mid afternoon. Not hard to tell that this is an older hotel, but they have done a decent job keeping it updated, comfortable and clean. The indoor pool is awesome! We . were both pretty tired after the drive, and just not in the mood for even getting in the car to drive anywhere......... and pizza delivery did not sound good at all. So we walked next door the DQ Chill and Grill, where I enjoyed a chicken sandwich and fries, and Rich had the 1/2 lb cheeseburger with onion rings and a Peanut Butter milkshake.
And while we thought we'd get through the day without rain...........we had a pretty good thunderstorm around 5 o'clock.
Back to the room for a shower and we're now watching President Trump's Rally in Minneapolis on TV before calling it a night. Our next stop tomorrow will be in Virginia.
