Day Fourteen - "You're in Florida? You know, you have to come home sometime..."

We woke this morning to finally a bit of sunshine. We were glad for the chance to finally get out on the beach and feel the sand in our toes.

We even go J.D. into the water for a few brief moments. He's still not completely sold on the wet salty dog look, but is warming up to it.

J.D. did get a souvenir for the beach. When we got back to the sidewalk he spit out a sea shell. We still have no idea when he picked it up or how long he had been carrying it around, but he made a very nice selection!

Back at the Old Pier Motel we said goodbye to our comfy little cottage. It was a great place to stay.




We knew today would be dedicated primarily to driving. But before leaving Flordia, Carl had to have at least one more donut. The Donut Hole did not disappoint, it was a delicious breakfast.


Today we wandered our way up through Georgia, rolling through one sleepy town after the other. This would have been enjoyable had it not been for the monsoon weather that rolled along with us. All we could really do was pear out the foggy truck windows and watch while ponds and lakes formed in the front yards and parking lots, and even the roadways we drove by.

Not much to see, but oh! look what we did find...


Our final destination was Sumter, SC. Our friends Carol and John Way live there and were more than happy to welcome us. They graciously cleared some space for us even though they are preparing for a major move in the upcoming weeks. It made for a late evening, but it was a wonderful visit.
