Well - if you have been following our trek, you can realize we did not make it to FL as originally planned by this morning, we spend the night in Georgia at the border with South Carolina.
We wanted to visit the Kennedy Space Center which is several hours away from where we awoke this morning. I read a visit to the Center will take all day and with the price of admission, we should take advantage of every open hour. At his point and knowing those facts, it does not make sense to rush it - we either have to rush driving or we have to rush the visit, and neither one is worth it. After all we are on vacation and it's supposed to be enjoyable.
We decided just to make our way to Miami. I called and the Campground could take us a day ahead. I also called the car rental company and changed the reservation. We are all set, 507 miles and we will be in Miami with plenty of time to pick up our rental car, set up at the campground and head out for dinner.
Larry and Penny CG is in a county park in Miami. I love the location because it's close to our friends and family and south west enough that traffic is not horrible in that area. The sites are spacious and the park is nearly empty this time of the year.
Attached to the blog is a picture of the boys setting up the RV and emptying the tanks from the ride down.
As it turns out, when I called to change the car reservation, the person "messed up" and reserved a small car. When I arrived at the pick-up counter, I told the clerk that was a mistake, I have 3 teenagers with me, and one is very tall, there is no way we can fit in a small car. I need at least a small SUV. Well - they had a mid-size SUV available and it turns out I was able to get it for only a little more than the price of the small car. Due to the mess I saved about half the original cost. I am tempted to try that strategy in the future.
After we were done setting up, we headed out to dinner and then came back and relaxed with a movie. Tomorrow we will sight -see in Miami
