Drive to Florida

We were awake by 4:30, so after refilling our drinks, we headed east toward the WV turnpike. With each of the three tolls being $4.25, we saved a good bit having our EZ-Pass.

We drove through Wytheville, Mt. Airy, Charlotte, and near Charleston, SC, Savannah, and picked up I-95 then on to Rt. 95 around Jacksonville. We arrived at Wittington’s home by 8 pm. There was steady traffic for the entire trip, but we were never at a standstill. We were happy that we chose this route rather than taking I-75 which goes through Atlanta. We were pleased that the Nissan Versa got such good fuel economy.

Whittington's house in Homosassa

When we arrived at Whittington’s Homosassa home, everyone jumped in to get the car unloaded and our things up to one of the bedrooms on the second floor of the house. We were impressed with the new Ram pickup that they purchased to leave in Florida for when they fly in for a short visit. The pickup is very much like Mark’s new Ram, except this one is only a half ton and is slightly lighter grey.

Mark made ribs for us once we were unloaded. The meal was very good as always.
