south of the border.

reporting from kingsland, ga. last minute we decided to head to key largo to celebrate the new year. flights are still outrageous even though gas prices have fallen off a cliff. result = mgb & me rent a car and head down I-95 south. i was exhausted from my 6 hour hike on christmas day to visit the fam, so he drove the first leg while i slept for about two hours. i decided i should wake up when i felt like mitch was going 90 mph in the pouring rain. i hate to be a backseat driver, but like to arrive to my destination alive. need a good laugh? take a road trip. my favorite part? singing duets of random oldies youll find while scanning the radio -- "danger zone" (think top gun theme song) and "your as cold as ice" were our favorites today. about half way through we stopped to fill up with gas -- instead of getting out, i just crawled into the drivers seat and waited for mitch to fill up the car. he got in and off we go, or not. as i am waving to the officer parked directly beside us i hear a loud slam -- i glance in the rear view mirror to see the gas hose flying out and bouncing off of our car. niiiiiceeeee. besides the officer looking at us like were lunatics -- all was well and we didnt break the nozzle. stephanies fabulous fam lives here in kingsland. like always im last minute, but hoping to catch atleast coffee in the am with her. for now, the bed is calling...

ohhhh yeah!! i heard the BEST quote today. "go through life with a newspaper in one hand and a bible in the other" - billy graham. definitely filing that away. night!
