We’ve made it to the Disney World resort. We took a detour to visit the ocean in Daytona Beach, but we are at the hotel now. We won’t be able to check in for a while though.
The kids are in the air. We will head to the airport to pick them up shortly. The epic road trip (part 1) is over. Time to start the epic vacation!
I’m sitting in a hotel room in Jacksonville, FL typing this post on my phone. It’s going to be quick and dirty on a day that deserves more.
Last week I weighed in at 243.6 pounds. This morning I weighed in at 238.2. The difference over the last week? Oh, just 5.4 pounds. Wow! Granted I’ve only eaten protein supplements on the road over the last 42 hours or so, so that could be a factor.
I haven’t filled out my spreadsheet yet so I will save the totals and the BMI for another time. Suffice to say that flipping the 10’s column and getting into the 230’s is amazing. Just amazing, I tells ya!
I got the scans back from my first developed roll of black and white film today and most of the photos look pretty good! I am super excited! I can’t wait to shoot more!
These are also the first shots to test out the adapter I bought that lets me shoot my dad’s Pentax 50mm f2 prime lens on my Nikon FG-20 camera. I am so happy the combination worked! I’m going to use the hell out of it on our trip to Disney World.
We crossed the state line into Florida and immediately stopped for a hotel. We’ve been on the road for about 15 hours today. It’s time to sleep. Talk to you all in the morning. Good night.
We hit some huge traffic at the southern end of South Carolina. We are in Georgia now. Onward we roll.
I just got an email from the film lab! The scans are done! When we stop for the night I’ll be able to see the roll of film I sent out a couple of days before Christmas!
Here’s hoping they look okay! WOOHOO!!
The traffic getting through Baltimore was okay, but we were beyond it before 7:00am. Washington, DC was another story. It was bad, but not as bad as DC traffic was when we took the same road during our honeymoon. That ride took hours to go about 10 miles. Today was slow, but manageable.
Now we are a little South of Richmond, VA. Less than 100 miles from North Carolina.
Still a long way to go, but getting there.
We hit the road at 1:50pm yesterday and called it a day around 9:00 in Aberdeen, WA. Umm, I mean Aberdeen, MD. We are about 50 miles north of Baltimore.
Nothing terribly interesting happened until we were checked into a hotel room. Jen was asleep and I was about to go to sleep. That’s when I started getting a migraine. Yippee. I turned out the lights and went to sleep. I woke up six hours or so later with a touch of a headache, but I think the actual migraine fun has passed. We will see how it goes as the long day rolls on today, but I think I’m okay. I’ll just have to watch it, just in case.
Okay, time to pack up the room and get day two rolling. We want to be in Florida tonight at the very least, if not somewhere close to the airport in Orlando.
Let’s go!!
