On-the-Road Day 2

After our car was fixed and we had a bite to eat, we were back on the road. It was late night when we were driving thru Atlanta, Georgia. As we were driving I could see large masses of white along the roadside. Trees were in full bloom in Georgia - from the size and shape of the trees, I would suspect they were ornamental pears. Like I said, it was dark out, but it was amazing how these trees stood out among the streetlights.

We arrived in Jupiter mid-morning, and the first thing we did was stop at Roger Dean Stadium to get tickets to see the Cardinals play on Monday, St. Patrick's Day. Our rental house wasn't ready yet, so we had to find things to occupy our time for the better part of the afternoon. We drove around - something you don't want to do alot of when gas is $3.47 a gallon, ate lunch, and finally pulled into a city park - parked the car and took a nap. Everyone was exhausted after traveling for almost 22 hours without sleep. Finally the cell phone rang, it was a call from the property owner and we could check into our rental house.

We pulled into the drive, unloaded suitcases, and collapsed on the couch.

Later from on-the-road.
