Rest Stop

As part of the year 'round schedule at our school in Virginia, our kids get two weeks off in October. The school calls it "Inter-session Break" and there are cool half-day classes offered for a fee, which are well attended. However, we took the opportunity to get out of town for 8 days, see some Southern sights and relax at the beach. One last longing gaze at the summer we didn't quite get to finish.

I'm still processing the images and writing the details, but here is a brief preview. The first two days of the trip each contained at least 7 hours of driving. It was challenging, but worth it in the end. We made sure the kids took full advantage of each and every rest stop, i.e. running drills and chasing games. These were taken at the first one we stopped at in Florida (day 2).

OH MY! I love those photos! How in the world did you do that. Probably photoshop, which I know nothing about. You are amazing!

PS. We miss you!

It is amazing that you could get those wild things back into the car for more hours on the road. Did you stop at South of the Border? I know you saw the signs.

We did briefly on the way back; it looked like it had seen better days. Some of the parts were closed- maybe because it was October?
