Friday/Saturday, Jan 31/Feb 1 , 2014
We have been looking forward to this trip to Florida for a long time. Between Lynn's Dad being in the Hospice for 8 weeks before his passing and both of us working full time, we haven't had much downtime together.
We left Brantford for our first trip to Florida at 2:30 am Friday morning. All was quiet as we passed through Beamsville at 3:30 am
We had a great drive.
While there was snow all the way into South Carolina, the roads were all clear and it was a relaxing drive.
We were making great time, so took an opportunity to stop at the New River Observation park
We caught a bit of rush hour traffic in Charlotte so stopped and enjoyed dinner at Cracker Barrel just outside the Six Flags Amusement property.
Temps were already in the 60's, a nice break from the crap we've been dealing with back home.
We made it to Country Inns and Suites in Columbia SC before dark leaving us a relaxing drive for the next day.
Saturday we drove through rain showers throughout the day that helped wash most of the salt off of my van. The new van is a joy to travel in and I can't wait to be able to use the sunroof once we get those warm Florida temps.
We checked into Orange Lake around 4:00 pm and were assigned a nice villa (2211) on Springer Circle. We dropped off our stuff and headed to Miller's Ale house for Lynn's first Alehouse experience.
Some peoples feet don't reach the floor!!
The Fish & Chips were great as usual!
As always, it did not disappoint.
After dinner we went to Walmart to pick up supplies and some fine wine .......
All this for just over $10!!!
Temps are in the high 70's and will be in the 80's for the first part of this week. Yeehaw!!
