Trip to Florida - Mission Accomplished

Well, we are here finally after 5 days... 4 days of 8+ hours of driving with few breaks. We are so thankful to arrive with no problems, gas prices were fantastic, and driving two vehicles went just fine. Dad has been bragging that per ton, his vehicle had the better gas mileage. Do you believe that?? I said "no way" but he did the math and proved it. My little car is 1.4475 tons, with me and Cinny included. Ha Ha! very sarcasticly. The trailer and truck and Dad is 11.9 tons. Okay. I got 43.38 miles per gallon, and so multiply by 1.4475 tons and you get 62.802 miles per ton. Sounds good huh? Alright, now Dad's tonage. He got 7.48 miles per gallon, and again, multiply by 11.9 tons and you get 89.012 miles per ton. Sounds like Obama doesn't it? Dad says that's pretty good. See, it is all in how you look at things. Okay, so does this mean being skinny isn't so fabulous afterall? What do you think?

Anyway, we are settled in and love this new place we are staying. No bugs, wonderful sea breezes, and so far, no neighbors until well into snowbird season (which may start anytime or up until January1st). Temperatures are upper 70's, lower 80's with low humidity. It was wonderful to open all of our windows and sleep last night.

See our next post for what we did today.
