A Few More Pictures from the Trip






(Picture 1: Sara and Kyle pose at the Florida state line. Picture 2. Breakfast at the Marriott in New Orleans. It was a buffet-style breakfast that we had paid for in advance with the cost of our room. Had we not paid in advance, this simple breakfast would have cost us $54. Yes, $54 for eggs, cereal, and waffles. Picture 3: Sara and Kyle getting ready to go swimming. Picture 4: The swimming pool at our hotel in Orlando. This was very nice, and with a little waterslide too. Picture 5: The green swimming pool at a "Days Inn" motel that we stopped at along the way. We had a very, very bad experience with Days Inn. The water coming out of the faucets was brown and dirty, the bedsheets were not clean, there was exposed wiring on the walls, so we had to leave the hotel. I have since wrote an email to their customer service department about their shoddy motel. Supposedly, the general manager is going to call me before June 18 to resolve my complaint. What is he going to do? Offer me another night at his terrible motel?)

  1. I hate when that happens, a dirty or bad motel room. I can put up with a lot, but sometimes a room is just plain ol' bad.

    The kids look happy. Do they travel well in the car?

  2. The kids are much better in the car now. They can handle long distances without wanting to stop every 30 minutes.

    What was bad about the Days Inn Motel is that they wanted $99 for one night (a Friday night, btw). And the motel was so bad, for that kind of price it should have only been about $29. So we got a refund and went to a small, independently owned Motel that didn't even have a name, it was just called "Motel." It was only $67 for the night and was much better than Days Inn.
