The Vacation of a life time!!!!!!! Where to begin? Leaving wok at 3:00 am instead of 12:00 the busiest night in a long time. After the usual argument about whos is riding with whom. My DW and I head back to Wal- Mart to get my glasses fixed they werent open when we went the first time. Now were are running late we are supposed to pick up my DD and my nephew who go to the same school at 11:45 (picture day) I knew for sure we were going to be late. Driving like a nut we hit Wal-Mart and GNC in record time. We get to the school at 11:47. Get the kids and oops we get trapped behind all the kids going to lunch. They all get on to the play ground and we are off. As we pull up to the meeting place so dose everyone else. YES we are on time!!!!!!!!!! We all pile in our prospective cars, and we are off 12:03 YYYYYEEEEESSSS! I can not believe it for the first time we are leaving on time.
We are making good time REALLY GOOD TIME. Through Hartford on to I95 man I have never had this little traffic.
On to the Cross Bronx Expressway. I have not listened to the traffic NOT ONCE, We have two cars with Sirius radios and neither of us have listed to the traffic (you can see where this is going)
I never go over the GW (George Washington Bridge) I like the tappinze simple because if something dose go wrong there are places to go, but we are making such good time. That is when it happens. All the cars stop. We can still turn around and head back the other way. But this isnt that bad I say we are still moving. 
That changes too. About 45 minutes in to our street side parking my DD starts to complain about her ear. 2 hours in she is screaming I want to go home make it stop. Did I say I dont like the GW because there is no place to go? 3 hours into our parking us we still better than a mile from the split just to get to the bridge. I was so bad I UNPACKED THE CAR to find the Motrin. Still I can not find it. My farther En- Law finds some in his car and becca FINALLY falls asleep. It is now after 6 and we are sitting in traffic for the UPPER LEVEL (those of you how know the GW you are saying what the heck are you doing there) with my patients shot and my last nerve gone about 2.5 hours ago 
. I say Man *&^*()(*^%$@!$%^&*()() we are going the way I want to. I have had it with this following people *&^%. I pull out saying WHY DONT WE HEAD TO THE LOWER LEVEL to my sister en-law who I was no longer going to follow. Of on to the bridge we move along pretty good (it is NY and NJ) than the construction starts. Every 40 miles the right two lanes are closed. Still we are making good time. Around DC still pretty good time. Finally the sun comes up we are in South Carolina and we stop for breakfast. Becca seems to be doing pretty well not complaining about her ear. The challenge of the drive seems to be behind us. We cross in to FL man it feels good and it is only a little after 12:30PM.
To the hotel

So we figured we would roll the dice when we got down there. Worst comes to worst wed sneak them in our tow rooms. But when we go there the said there was no limit on #of people in our room and we got three cots no charge. And he was able to get a parking pass for free as well. 
than to dinner we ate at the Italian restaurant right next to the hotel it was ok cheap and good portions. The rest of our family went to visit My Brother in-laws mother in Melbourne or something like that. To say that was happy that we didnt go would be an under statement. After the ride I was ready for a break Off to bed early I was beat and I wanted to be up early the next day to get breakfast and in line for the shuttle.
along with BBQ sauce This was really good. (I usually order 
long enough to go to sleep).
