We Have Arrived!

 6-27-2021 - Sunday

Well, 48 days after leaving home, we have arrived at John and Bridgette's in Brandon, Florida.  It took us 4,107 miles.  Just about 100 miles a day.  We had about 100 miles of Georgia left, which we came across on 441, into Florida, past Lake City, before we finally got on I-75.  Along the Georgia portion, we past tobacco fields and blueberry fields.  Some of the tobacco was blooming, which we didn't even know it bloomed.

We crossed the Florida state line at 10:30 and made our last fuel stop there before Brandon.  Gas was back up a little, $2.899.  We had dreaded I-75 because it had been so busy, with traffic and road construction, ever since Cincinnati, but actually it was good today.  The only real slow-down was 2 miles before our exit in Brandon.  We past the Don Garlitz Drag Race Museum near Ocala, at mile marker 339.  Every time we pass it, Joe always says he wants to stop there sometime, but we never have.  

We found their new house, actually didn't get stopped soon enough because it's right on the corner (which they forgot to mention).  They all came out to greet us and helped us get parked.  They have a place for our RV right in their driveway -- very nice and convenient. We toured their new house (very nice),

 then watched the kids play outside.  It sprinkled a little, which drove us adults onto the screened-in porch, but didn't bother the kids.

We got to the Froeschkes at 3:00, 272 miles today. It was 75 Yuk degrees this morning.  We stepped out of the RV and I said it was 75 degrees, and Joe said yuk, it's yuk out here.  At that point, humidity was 91%.  

The kids are very energetic.  And they have one new dog and one new kitty since our last visit (Dory and Sophia).  So that's 3 dogs and 2 cats, a pond with fish, and 3 aquariums.  We have some busy days ahead.  We aren't quite at the half-way mark of our journey -- Indian River is the final destination, which we will head over to on July 10, with them. Time to post this and play with the kids.
