Start of our Road Trip - Port St.
Lucie, Florida to Columbia, South Carolina - June 12
We left at 9:00 in sunny weather, but
as we drove north, it rained on and off all day. At times, it was torrential.
We stopped for lunch in Jacksonville around 12:30.
Dames Point Bridge - Jacksonville, FL
port area
We continued north on I-95 over into
Georgia and then into South Carolina. Rain, rain, and more rain! We were making
decent time, despite the rain until we hit an area where it was stop and go for
about 45 minutes. Must have been an accident, but it was cleared by the time we
got up there.
We arrived in Columbia, SC and got
checked into the Residence Inn around 7:00. Long day…..around 540 miles today.
This is just a one-night stay and
tomorrow we will travel to Columbus, Ohio. It’s an older Residence Inn and kind
of “yucky”. Room smelled of cigarette smoke and furnishings are a bit worn and
smell of stale tobacco. Glad it was just one night.
We grabbed a late dinner and then
settled in to watch the Stanley Cup Final. St. Louis won for the first time
ever, so that was great. We were rooting for Boston though.
Tomorrow, another long day in the car to get to Ohio.
