After leaving Flordia through the Tampa area...and one super super scary bridge that is high enough for cruise ships to go under...
Georgia welcomed us in today with beautiful hills, green grass, and beautiful weather. So far I like Georgia..we will see how I feel after Atlanta tomorrow.
We started in Thomasville where we saw the Lapham - Patterson house. Cool! He survived the Chicago fire and moved to Thomasville because his lungs were damaged. He had the house built for $4800 and every room in the house (there is like 30) has a door to the outside in case of fire. Super pretty place.
Onto Griffin for the night through lots of pretty small towns one being Leesburg, GA..home of Philip Phillips (on American Idol this season)..this was not a planned stop, but cool still. Theres not much there, just a stop sign. I saw a small sign on the highway for a covered bridge and screeched to a hault to investigate...glad we did..beautiful and a huge nest of fire ants that Chris had to distrub...
Some of the best stops are at little gas stations where you "overhear" people talking...love to hear the accents, like 'weddin', 'fixin', and 'chilen'...or Wedding, Fixing, and Children. :-)
Great southern hospitality here in Georgia and freindly people.
Best quote from mom today was "the more north you go...the more southern people get"...ok
Best road names "eggs and butter lane" and "possum trot road".
Tomorrow Atlanta and the Aquarium.
