75 F / lots of rain then sunny

Today was a shorter driving day, only about 7 hours. We got on the road about 7 a.m. and that was just early enough to avoid the early morning traffic around Columbia. After two hours of heavy rain, the sun finally greeted us. After a customary stop at the Florida welcome center for orange juice, we made our way to the St. Augustine Premium Outlets since it is an especially good one—at least it has Tommy Bahamas and Chico’s! Luckily, TK likes to stop too. He even advised me on my purchases today—that’s a first, a swimsuit and a light sweater. He scored a good deal on two TB shirts!

Florida Welcomes Us!

A very attractive dolphin for someone special!

Titusville wasn’t far and we had dinner at Dixie Crossroads, just like always. This restaurant has its own shrimp and fish boats so the seafood is incredibly fresh.  

The lowest price for gas was $1.55/gallon in South Carolina.

TK’s Takes: Some people really daydream when they are driving. He knew we were in Florida because no one uses turn signals. He is also noticing more car charging stations at the hotels as well as USB charging ports in the room.  He also said just now that he was outdoors only 10 minutes [jk note: fooling around in his  truck] and got bitten by bugs. [jk: that's the trade off, TK, bugs or snow]

Note to our Cruise Friends: Tomorrow!!  Dinner at Coconuts in Ft. Lauderdale!! We waited a whole year! Safe travels to all!
