Florida Trip - Day 2

What would a road trip be without McDonald's breakfast?

Well, we got on the road around 6:30am, sort of. We promptly annoyed the GPS lady by ignoring her constant promptings to follow her chosen route. Instead we chose our own route. After a hundred miles or so she got with the program.

We made it to Atlanta around 10:30 our time, just in front of the major rain storms that are coming through. As I write this I'm watching the Weather Channel, and just as the guy mentioned that folks in Atlanta should begin to hear thunder, by golly I did! At that exact moment! How did he know?

There are two, perhaps three, hundred thousand Waffle Houses between Chicago and Florida, but we have never been to one...until today. I found it expensive for what we got. $35 for cheap breakfast items, go figure. But the food wasn't so bad. But I don't have a great hankering to go back. Waffle House is now officially off my bucket list.

We're glad that we made it to the hotel in one piece. We're all exhausted. We can't wait for another 10 hour drive tomorrow!
