Made it to Kissimmee FL

We made a few stops along the way, first stop at Sunshine RV in Gainesville FL.  We like stopping there, they usually have a great selection of Class B motorhomes and today they had a great inventory to look at.

From there we headed to Cross Creek to tour Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings State Park.

Her old home is well preserved, and for only $3 for a guided tour is a deal.

Our next stop was Micanopy FL, every time we are passing by here we have to stop.  A couple of places to grab a bite and some unusual stores to shop in.  I grabbed a piece of chocolate pecan pie and will enjoy it later tonight.




Then back behind the wheel toward Kissimmee for our second night in the road to Key West.

Day 1 of our trip to Key West completed

After telling our children good-bye we set out on the road south.  Traffic through Atlanta was not bad, it was about noon on a weekday.  We jumped off I-75 at the Arabi exit, never visited Arabi and thought we would this trip.  From there we continued with our GPS set to avoid highways.  It added  about 2 1/2 hours to the trip but the interstate gets boring.

We made it to Cracker Barrel in Lake City just before they closed, so we will have breakfast in the morning before continuing on.
