Road home

Drove back home today.

Been doing the drive up Hwy 82 from Albany, GA to Eufaula, AL for 7 years.

When we pass this sign, I have always had a moment of nostalgia.

Back in Kate's living room...

you know you are singing the theme song in your head

"I don't want to wait..."

For the record...it's so much warmer in the Keys.

Cold sucks.

Leave for Texas tomorrow!

Night Sky...

Not sure how well this will work on here...

the night sky rivals the day sky here.

Big dipper to the left of the palm tree!

Big drive tomorrow, we head north.

Pretty sad about leaving.

Pine Key to Islamorada day trip

For Bfast I wanted to "go to a greasy spoon" not a drive thru...

Steve found this great hole in the wall- The Wooden Spoon!

Food was good, fast, & cheap!

Key West yesterday afternoon...

One of the first sights, chickens. All over Key West.

Saw the cats...sure they were there, but chickens?

Why did the rooster cross the road...we will never know.

Steve spooked him back the other way.

Rooster looked both ways before crossing too.
