Road Trip North

Friday was the day I had my highly anticipated car train reservation for my trip to take the van to New Jersey.  First I had to get fresh Florida oranges to take up for my friends, then take the kids ice skating. (notice all the ‘my’, ‘I’ words)

It was a really light day at the skating rink.  We were the only customers, had the ice to ourselves.  There was also a college film crew there.  We watched them take closeups of the ice, hang banners, size up the place, make their plans etc…

Then my mom came by to get the kids and off I went to the train station.  The trip to Ginger and Bruce’s house in Milford, NJ is 1057 miles.  The first 850 will be on the train.  I showed up at 2pm to check in with my blanket and book.  I was looking forward to an over night road trip where Amtrak took care of the first 80%.  No kids, no dog, no time behind the wheel, just time for me me me.  Ah, that sounds great.  So, I pulled up to the valet who would drive the van on the train and she said that the van is too tall, and she would get me a full refund.  But, But, But, what about me me me, my blanket and my book?  So, I went and found I-95 and headed north, with 12 hours of highway ahead of me Friday night.

I tried to download a book, but that didn’t work, foiled again.  The only thing I had on my iPhone was John Hunt’s audio bible study of Genesis. There are something like 45 forty-five minute studies.  I already listened to the first 30 over the last 6 months.  On this night I managed to listen to the last 15 studies.  John Hunt is a no nonsense teacher that points out facts about the bible, reminds us that God is in control and teaches how God’s word supports prophecy and how it relates to today’s world.  So, who do you think was in control of this road trip where I was thinking about me me me and ended up listening to 12 hours of bible study instead.

As I went along, the temperatures got colder, at the first gas stop I put on my sweater, next stop the long pants went on, after that I added socks and finally turned on the heater.  At the border of North Carolina and South Carolina is a funky little tourist stop called South of the Border.  The website says it was established in 1949 as a beer stand because it was adjacent to a dry county.  I was there with my family in 1976 when we drove to Florida from Buffalo, and then again in 1986 when I was in the Navy going to Hawaii via Florida.  On this night I arrived at the border around 11:30pm, everything was closed, but the lights were still on for a photo.

Friday night I passed from Florida through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and half way into Virginia before taking a nap in the van.  It was really cold and frosty out, luckily I had sleeping bags.  At sunrise I did the last few hours to Becky’s house in Washington D.C.   The kids and I stayed with her a few years ago and toured the city, it was great fun.

Unfortunately we only had time for an omelet and orange juice before I was off again.  I drove out of D.C. through Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and finally into New Jersey.  That’s 8 of the 13 original Colonies in 24 hours.  I grew up in Buffalo, NY, went to my Navy training schools in Virginia,  and my first two jobs after the Navy had headquarters in the D.C. area that I visited regularly.  So this climate and landscape brought back all kinds of memories of my youth and years without responsibilities.  Not so any longer.  Finally, I arrived at the Harrison’s house.  It’s a spacious house on 8 acres, much of which is wooded.  Their dogs don’t need to be fenced in, there isn’t traffic out front, the neighbor has cows, plenty of privacy, and cool crisp November air.

The timing of this trip was no accident.  For years Ginger has been telling me about the Thanksgiving party they have with their family and friends.  This year 30 people came and feasted on 3 turkeys and all the fixings. Bruce was in charge of the birds, one was smoked, another on the rotisserie, and the last one in the oven.

The food was fabulous, everyone chipped in for the last minute preparations to get the food on the table as well as the cleanup at the end.

After dinner Bruce made a bonfire out back.  I was shocked at the size of his wood stack four layers high on top of  a glowing bed of hot coals.  A couple blasts with the bellows and the frigid night air was warmed by this amazing blaze.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Marie called me on face time with her iPod to show me her scraggly crooked dangling tooth finally came out.

 

Out of that huge gap came one tiny little tooth. Mom said everyone did great, the kids said they were spoiled.  They got unlimited screen time, soda, candy, ate out every meal and went to drive Go-Karts.  I’m looking forward to when I’m a grandma so I can spoil the kids. Well, I’m back in Florida, we have two more weeks before we join Eric and Brian in Grenada.  There are a few things on the calendar to keep us busy, we have to get back to school work, it was going pretty good last week until Friday’s adventure.

First rainy day

Before it rained we managed to go for a walk and look for turtles in the local drainage ditch.  There is water everywhere.  Roy’s theory is that they dig ponds around here to store the water that collects regularly.  Then we got our school work done and headed off on the day’s adventures.  Roy and I had the tires rotated while mom took the girls to thrift stores.  Afterwards we went to a really cool Congo River Golf.  This mini golf course had real alligators,  water falls, caves, bridges and some of the holes had steep greens.

The two meals cost $9 all together and we still have a huge plate of leftovers.  Roy tried everything, Genny pretended to try everything, and Marie just ate the rice.  Luckily, Roy enjoyed it so much that he said we should try some other foods next time.

Legoland Florida

Homeschooling is GREAT!  We went to Legoland’s homeschool day today, the regular ticket price is about $70 each, we paid $8 for students and $25 for adults.  Legoland California has a similar deal that we’ve taken advantage of several times, so I was interested to compare the two parks.

The first ride at the entrance is Island In The Sky.  We learned that after 75 years as Cypress Gardens, Legoland took over the property.  The mature trees mixed with the brand new buildings was beautiful. The bright clean bricks got my attention right away, and the Florida theme throughout the park kept me interested.

 

First on our agenda, Genny rushed us over to sign her up for the Dr. Heartbeat Mindstorm class.  She and Roy took this class in California with Tyler and loved the high tech lego toys.  We also noted the times for the Pirate Cove water ski show since we were there.  Aren’t they a treasure!

Ok, let’s get organized here.  The Cypress Gardens section is a tribute to the original park.  Florida is a favorite winter vacation state for the people from the north.  Since I grew up in Buffalo, NY, I got to visit Florida as a kid.  We were there in 1969, when I was an only child before my brother was born, again in 1976 when Disneyworld was new, I think maybe 1980ish to visit my grandparents who were spending the winter in Clearwater, FL, then I went to USN bootcamp there in 1985, and one last visit in 1986 to pick up my mom so she could drive to California and ship me off to Hawaii with the Navy.  I think it was the 1976 trip that we spent some time in Orlando and also visited Cypress gardens.  At that time the Southern Belles sat on the lawn with their bright ruffled skirts spread on the grass.  Check out the Cypress gardens link for interesting facts about the park as it was then and as it is now.

One of the main attractions in Cypress Gardens is this Banyan tree that was planted in 1939 as a seedling.

 

Here are my Southern Belles sitting on the lawn.  It’s crazy that I’ve always had this memory of the belles on the lawn but didn’t know where I saw them until today at Legoland.

Back to Legoland.  Marie is finally tall enough to ride without me.  Legoland has alway had height restrictions that are difficult for one adult and 3 kids.  Many of the rides required an adult with each child below 44 inches.  It was only a few years ago that I had 3 under 44 inches, so without extra adults, we couldn’t ride.

 
It can affect a woman’s desire for sex? How does a female enhancer cream work? These creams work by enhancing nitric oxide production in a woman’s sexual desire gets sildenafil buy temporarily affected due to hormonal fluctuations and as soon as these periods end, things get back to the normal health condition. The smartest move is to do your own research; viagra 100 mg ask around, and don’t hesitate to ask for medical help. Say no to smoke- Smoke develop higher risks of viagra free sample erectile dysfunction. Nonetheless, among all these penis twomeyautoworks.com free sample viagra pumps, the particular case that suits you best.

Another favorite part of Legoland is Miniland.  Here they have lego cities built displaying landmarks from around the USA and the world. The cities have details that will keep us studying the exhibits.  I was really excited to see the kids recognize many of the cities that they visited in the last few years.  Just last winter I took pictures of the kids by these rockets at the Kennedy Space center.

We saw the space shuttle arrive in California a few weeks ago.

The kids immediately recognized Castillo de San Marcos from St. Augustine, FL.  We were there last winter.  They also recognized Lombard St. in San Francisco, New York City landmarks as well as Washington DC.  Roy noticed the Hollywood Bowl where he and Eric went to see The Prairie Home Companion radio show a few years back.

One of the other memories I have of Florida are water ski shows in Cypress Gardens.  Way back when I visited, the show was more about water ski stunts like jumps, pyramids, and synchronized acrobatics on skis with fancy costumes.  Today it was a pirate show with lego figures.  A little disappointing for me, but the kids were excited to see the water skiers and this will be their memory, I can save mine in a back corner of my mind.  In the back of this photo you can see the Island in the Sky ride.  This is from the old park, several dozen people sit around the circle which turns 360 degrees for a view of the park and a glimpse of the old section un-renovated.

Lets not forget, we’re still at Legoland.

The last thing on our list of things to do was the first thing we signed up for.  Mindstorm!  This 45 minute class was free to homeschoolers today.  Genny and Marie each had a computer and a robot with 4 missions.  They had to drop icons in a list to move the robot forward and they had to set the distance, to make turns and set the degree, to do special movements like lifting the arm up and down.  When they felt their program was finished, the play button would test out the program.  With each test comes a program modification and then another test.  The girls had a lot of fun with this.  I was impressed how easily they understood this project, that’s what happens when you grow up in 2012.
