Days 6, 7, and 8 - Florida at last!

We have not had constant internet connection, so I apologize for the overload of posts while I catch up!
 
We took off driving early Saturday morning.  It was a very uneventful day and driving went very smoothly.  We drove as far as we could for the day and then pulled in to a Home Depot parking lot to spend the night. 
 
Sunday morning we woke up and got dressed for church, then hopped in the car and drove another hour south.  We timed it just right and made it to the Household of Faith Bible Church just north of Atlanta in time.  This church was awesome and worth checking out if you are ever anywhere in the area.  Wonderful pastor and message and very welcoming.  After changing back into our every-day clothes again and making up some sandwiches for lunch we spent the rest of the day driving again.  Our “campground” this night was a truck stop.  A parking lot full of semis running all night is the best white noise machine ever. 
 
A few more hours of driving on Monday finally got us to Bradenton, FL.  Yay!  We spent a couple hours at the pool turning some of us pale Minnesotans into lobsters, ate dinner and headed to the Anna Maria City Pier to watch the sunset. 
 
The beautiful white sand beach by the pier.

 
A photo with me in it!!!  Just for you Diane.  :)
 
Exhausted baby.  Not so sure I could fall asleep with my foot on my shoulder....
