The drive to Florida was.... well, the drive to Florida. We have done it so often now that any excitement it might have held is gone. It is a long and boring ride made even less enjoyable this time by crappy weather. It was snowing lightly when we left on the 21st of December and by the time we got to southern Illinois, it turned to fog and light rain. Made driving very tiring and it stayed that way pretty much until we were out of Georgia! Long ride this time. But better than the weather that has been pounding the US since we left, so no complaints about our timing. Max did well, as he always does. He just curls up and goes to sleep.
This trip was a bit of a new adventure for us. This is the first year we have been in Florida for Christmas. We have wanted to do that ever since we started coming to Florida in the winter. I have to admit that it was a bit strange for me though. Only my second Christmas that I didn't spend with my family. The other was the Christmas we spent in the hospital two years ago when Brian had his heart surgery.
Although it has been a bit on the cool side, I have to say that it was odd to see a snowman or Christmas tree or other ornaments sitting on green grass next to a palm tree... Don't get me wrong! I don't miss the snow! It just seems a bit odd since for me, Christmas has always been, well, cold!
