Last night was a chilly night in Georgia! Good thing we had some warm pj's. We woke up to a brisk morning and some really cool fog over the lake. Since it's Friday, the boys enjoyed "pop-tart Friday" for breakfast and then we packed everything up to continue to Florida. This was an intermediate stop since it would have been too much of a push to go the entire way in one day. We're thankful we made the overnight stop as everyone was ready to get out of the car when we got here.
The drive down I-95 to Florida wasn't too bad. We did have one traffic jam where a vehicle was flipped over but we managed to get through it in reasonable time (can't say that for all the folks behind us). We stopped at the Florida Visitor's Center and Cole was super excited to see that they were handing out fresh orange (my OJ lovin' boy). Eli & Cole both also had fun looking at all of the brochures and picking out ones of LegoLand. Late afternoon, we arrived at Manatee Hammock Campground where Grandma & Grandpa N were waiting for us. The boys were THRILLED to see them and to go to the "bus" - Grandma & Grandpa's RV.
We got the camper and screen house set up - Grandpa helped make sure we had water and sewer hookups. Then Grandma made us a great dinner. We enjoyed hanging out and the campground is awesome. There is a variety of camping here - from tents to pop ups like us to full size RVs. We could stay here for a long time!!
The boys are doing awesome in the camper and we're trying to keep a routine similar to home with reading before bed. We're all pretty much functioning with the sun which means, when the sun goes down, Mommy is ready to sleep too!!
Gorgeous fog over the lake -
I wish the camera would have captured it better. It was beautiful!

Super cool bridge
The construction nerd in me couldn't resist pictures.
Chillin' at the rest area
As we got close to Manatee Hammock, the boys started drawing pictures for Grandma.
Cole drew a tornado rainbow
and apparently it took all his energy!
Happy to be out of the car and on his bike.
Cole was ready to go.

Happy Daddy - all set up and resting.

The boys were excited to see that they had Angry Birds Space Race in the camper drawer of games and puzzles - a little Mommy surprise. :-)
I just had to take this picture. There are a lot of snowbirds at this campground and they really set up. They're here for many months and make it home.
