See you later, Alligator

On Thursday we said "see you later, alligator" to South Florida. We left amidst tears and laughter, drenched by a morning rainstorm and surrounded by friendship. Here we are singing the Doxology. This was when I lost my cool and started crying... but you can see there was lots of joy there too.

Try not to cry while singing.

"No, don't go!"

This picture breaks my heart. C doesn't know what to do but R does!

We had beautiful driving weather. What can I say, it's Florida people. We even took a pitstop to our favorite rest area near the Skyline Bridge in Tampa Bay. Enjoying this beautiful spot was therapeutic after the stressful push of the morning.

Now that's what I call a rest area!

I'm absolutely thrilled that I figured out how to link the map of our general route to my blog! Yay, a small blogging victory!

 Today we will be taking our second leg of the journey a little later than planned because we needed to replace the alternator and battery in our good ol' Nissan. According to this route we will encounter two more states, Georgia and Alabama.
