We have finally made it to Florida! We woke up before the sun this morning and started our ~10 hour trek south to the Sunshine State. We hit the road around 6:20AM or so, and got into town around 4:15PM. For as long as it was, the trip honestly felt really manageable. Brett and I downloaded some movies so that the passenger could watch while the driver listened along. We made sure that the movie we played was something that the diver had already seen so they wouldn't be missing out too much on the experience. We watched Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. We still have quite a few movies downloaded, so we're prepared for the trip back North!
Snowy continued to be so cuddly throughout the trip, but I think she finally got the hang of the whole road trip thing. She was snoozing easily and acting more like herself in the car instead of a nervous wreck like she was on the first night we left. She was so amazing through the whole trip. I'm sure traveling like this is scary for a dog and we're so lucky with how well she did!
When we arrived into town, we wanted to get our bodies moving! Our AirBnB is right by a lake and a park, so we took Snowy on a little walk down to that area. It was a gorgeous afternoon and I was glad we were able to arrive before the sun went down so we could explore a bit. Snowy was very interested in the lake and especially the new-to-her Florida birds she was seeing by the water. She's going to see a lot of new critters while we're down here!
For dinner we ordered some food from a local Mexican restaurant and it was so delicious after eating road trip food for the last couple of days! We both got chimichangas and shared an order of guacamole and chips. It honestly hit the spot after such long travel days.
The town we're staying in this weekend is honestly so cute and I can't wait to explore it more. I've already made note of multiple spots I'd like to check out after my race tomorrow, because we have a pretty open day after I'm done running. I'll of course be vlogging and blogging my experience, so you'll be seeing it all in a future post, but for now, here's a little glimpse of what we're dealing with:
