Florida

We  (Josh, Jess, Dad, and of course Me) went to Florida this last week.
The reason we went was my great grandma died. We were  going to the funeral.
So about 2 hours after we found out about the tragedy Dad and I went suit shopping. That was fun, I don't usually like shopping for clothes but that was pretty fun. I tried on a bunch o different suits and pants and stuff. Those suits were definitely the nicest things I have ever worn. So we picked out a suit and packed our bags and decided to leave the following morning. In the morning at 9 AM we set out on our 18 1/2 hour drive. Talk about a long time sitting down! We listened to Out Of The Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis.
I slept and took a turn driving well... not at the same time. After about an hour and thirty minutes, it started to rain. Lightly at first and then with increasing power I slowed down considerably because it was so hard to see. Then Dad told me to stop at the next exit so he could take over.
     That night we stayed in a hotel called "America's Best Value" Yeah right... I guess it was a pretty cheap room, but considering what we got, there was a very low value. Or quality or something not low value. Whatever. Suffice it to say it was a bad hotel. We finished the journey the next day at about 12:30
