i am a very lucky person, i get to travel at another persons expense (Fathers-in-laws are wonderful). I had the ummmm....pleasure of helping my father-in-law drive down to Sarasota Florida, he acts tough, but is sweet underneath it all! We left Wisconsin with the expected high of 39 degrees...can you say BRRRRRRRR! When we reached Florida, it was a wonderful 79 degrees...almost warm enough for me to want to go swimming in the pool outdoors! but i didn't, i refraned, and didn't want to SHOCK the old people there! The trip down is always enlightening and informative with a man who realy doesn't know me that well. Not like i just joined the family or anything, married for 27 years now!, but he is learning i am not such a bad person after all. And there is a good reason his son pick me and held on to me so tight! (oops does that sound conceited?...it's not suppose to be) He was mis-informed many years ago, by another family member! But now i think he likes me for who i am!
ok on with it already.....driving isn't the problem, it's getting him to stop and not push it so hard! A person can only take so much sitting down in a car! We thinks because we make good time, we should continue and get as far as we can get in one day...even if this means there are no rooms left to stay the night! Calling ahead doesn't do any good either, i tried that! But walking in at just the right time, to get a cancellation, and snatch the room up...even if it means sharing a room and sleeping on a roll-away bed.It does pay to be short to sleep on one of those things! that night was saved, and peacefull sleep was had by both occupants, with a joke of " i slept with your Dad honey" and got quite a laugh from the hubby!But the best part about leaving home, is getting back!
Welcome Home...safe and sound
