Keep On Truckin'...or Thank You Google Maps!

So here's what's been going on this Summer in a nutshell.  We've been in the van...a lot.
We moved from the West side of O-town to the East side of O-town which doesn't sound like a big difference, but it is...a one hour one way difference...a one hour one way four times a day difference...a one hour one way four times a day for a month difference!  That's a lot of van time!  We're in the process of short-selling our home, a process which taken almost two years and we still haven't closed on the deal.  We moved already because we were supposed to close at the end of May.  F.Y.I. "supposed to" is a four-letter word.  So we drove an hour one way four times a day for the last month of school.



We also continued to shuttle the kids to music lessons, 8th grade celebrations, Girl Scouts, and attended our son's end of the year concerts, all of which were in Apopka.

For Father's Day, we spent a weekend with friends in Ft. Myers



In addition, my son attends band camp at FSU every Summer, GO 'NOLES!  This year since he's going into high school, the camp lasted two weeks, i.e. the hubs and I drove four hours one way to Tallahassee and back three weekends in a row as there was a performance after both the first and second weeks of camp.

Meanwhile our daughter was attending an art and drama day camp for three hours/day for 5 weeks.  They did a production of "The Wiz."  Wait, "Ease On Down the Road?"   Maybe that should have been the title of this post.  Anyway, luckily, her camp was located just a few miles from our rental home.



However, in mid-July we traveled with the F.L.P. to West Palm Beach for our annual Dave Matthews Band Weekend!  They didn't tour last year, so bada bada hoo hoo!







And finally this past weekend the hubs and I schlepped down to South Beach (in Miami) for his 20 year high school reunion.  Go Cobras!



  Needless to say, we won't be going anywhere anytime soon!  :)
