Today is the beginning of the great Michigan adventure. I leave right after work for points north essentially to be in Ann Arbor, Michigan by Sunday night for a special dinner celebration for my son, Timothy and his wife Samantha. They were married less than two months ago in a short sunrise ceremony on Boynton Beach on the 4th of July.
Getting married on Independence Day. No irony there!!!
So shortly after 4p today I left the office in downtown Fort Myers and started moving north. The idea being that I would drive about 4 to 6 hours and get myself as close to the US301 & I-10 interchange near Jacksonville, Florida.
Despite two wrong turns, both of which put me right back where I was headed anyway (speaking of irony) I ended my day eight hours later in Brunswick, Georgia. This was much further than I had expected or even hoped. Fortunately, it is cool enough that I won’t need to run the air conditioner overnight. I settled in for a short night’s sleep feeling pretty good about my day. Things were looking good for the next couple of days.
