Road Trip: South - inland trip
May 20, 2015 - May 28, 2015
2015 Road Trip Summary
We were fortunate enough to take a real vacation this year. Our first in three and a half years - and this one was much like the last. This year we decided to tour the South again. We took the auto-train from Lorton, VA, to Sanford, FL. And then drove home. Not in one day, but rather over a nine days. We had a lot of fun, saw some great sites, and, of course, ate some great food. Again. However, this time we were a little more West - in-land - than last time.
The weather was excellent. We had one rain shower while driving in Orlando and another while inside at breakfast one morning.
Trip statistics:
- Gone for 9 days and 8 nights
