We have done quite a few road trips. The kids are true road warriors.
Over Christmas break, we thought we'd take it up a notch and do the "rite of passage" drive to Florida adventure.
8 days, 40 hours of drive time, 2,500 miles and everyone was still speaking to each other at the end. Success.
First stop: Savannah.
We decided this was a good halfway point to rest our heads for the night. Dad had fun showing the kids his old "stomping grounds" from his Fort Stewart days.
We made it to Weston, outside of Ft. Lauderdale, on day 2. We camped out with Boots & Grandan at their timeshare.
And when in the everglades....why not take an airboat, in the dark, to go gator-hunting?
The kids went to camp for the day, so the adults enjoyed some beverages by the beach in Ft. Lauderdale.
Even Boots and Grandan made the drive over.
There was even fishing on the docket for the last Florida day.
And then we began the journey back home. Our stopover on New Year's Eve was Kiawah Island. Fried oysters were not optional.
So happy to ring in the new year at the beach.
New Year's day happy hour excursion to the Ocean Course with Grandma. She and Grandpa came for the New Year's fun, too.
