Facebook friends can see pictures of the first part of our trip, but for the past 2 days, I haven't been able to upload photos there. Mahala drove from Macon to the Florida line. No toll booths to crash, but she did deal with her share of semi trucks and construction barriers. She did just fine, mom and dad. Here are just a couple to let y'all know that aside from Georgia losing her first day in the sun due to knee and back pain, we have arrive safely and Mahala's return to the ocean and Sophia's first look at the ocean (from outside the womb) seemed to be met with approval. Now all of our grandkids have at some time or the other 
made the trip to the Maverick Resort in Ormond Beach. Hey, they have really updated the place. Seems the only thing that hasn't been improved is the elevator system. The girls took the first load of stuff up while we checked in and the clunking, creaking, and jerking in the elevators (that have been the same since Mac first bought the timeshare) gave them a bit of a scare. Georgia's body improved with a day of rest and we got out to High Tides at Snack Jack's last night. Although I'm into taking advantage of seaside dining for fresh seafood, the girls use the same approach that I do when I order breakfast. I typically order the same breakfast wherever I 
go. With that, I can compare and rate the food. At this point, my standard breakfast of eggs over easy, sausage, potatoes with onions extra crispy and whole wheat toast are fixed best by the B&B in Gas City, Indiana, Tommy's 4th street bar and grill in Corvallis, Oregon, and The Maverick in Ormond Beach Florida. (I thought the Maverick ranked up there, but had to test again before including them.) So the girls seem to order chicken fingers and fries no matter where they go. (Like Aidan???) You'll have to ask them about the ranking. I haven't had the heart to tell them that chickens don't have fingers. Mahala, however 
figured out with a little prompting, that Jersey cows give milk with higher fat content than Holsteins. Her FFA folks should be proud of her. Along the education line, again with a little prompting, the girls figured out why we saw so much dedicated to Jefferson Davis after leaving Indiana. Sorry, I've taught too long to let educational opportunities pass by. Today we start our 2nd day of "fun in the sun" and I think we have finally reached the end of the adrenalin rush. Sophia, who was all into going to breakfast with me yesterday, declined this morning. As you can see, she loves the ocean.
