We had a smooth drive coming into Florida. I think we've gotten acclimated to the time change now. It's three hours later here.
Here we have been visiting with my cousin's Wayne and Faye. I have a lot more family here, but I'm not going to be able to visit them all on this trip.
Again, we've been hanging out and visiting. It's VERY HOT here too. We've been watching, tropical storm Ernesto. It's supposed to hit here on Thursday. We leave in the morning and will be heading up to Maryland. From the looks of it, we will be dragging it into Maryland with us. I'll let you know.
The first night, Wayne fixed us a scrumptious dinner!! Pork roast, on the grill with yams, cooked cabbage and corn bread......OH, was that a nice treat!
I got a chance to locate and visit a stamp store, here in St. Augustine. The name of it is Claire's Collectibles. WOW....what a great place to get lost in. My cousin sat at the front counter and chatted with the owner, Claire, while I looked and looked and looked some more. I made sure to pick up a few things, since she had some different stuff at her store. She's been there for fourteen years. It was a pleasure to shop in her store.
John and Wayne took the car in for a oil change and wash.
We went to dinner at a new place, just down the street from my cousin's. It was called Bono's Pit Bar-B-Q.....YUM, YUM, YUM!!!! John ate too much this time. If you're ever in the area, make sure that you get by to eat there. They have a couple of place in Jacksonville, Florida too. From there we actually too the plunge and went to Dairy Queen. Now we're ALL stuffed...LOL!!!
Tomorrow we will stop in Jacksonville, Florida, just about an hour away from here, and pick up John's nephew. He's on vacation and decided to hop a plane and join us for the trip up to Maryland. He lives in Washington, D.C. We invited him to join us and get in some visiting time with him, on the road.
I'll try to hook up and update more when I get to my next stop.
THANK YOU WAYNE, FAYE and FLORIDA!!!!
