Did I mention I've been on a road trip for the past two days? Probably thinking its atleast a good 10 hours right? Wrong. It's only a seven hour drive (to FL) and we've had to stay at two hotels! Just two hours away from our city my mom got tired and pulled into a Country Inn & Suites in Cordele, which by the way was in the middle of nowhere (but it was new!). Now remember we live in a subarb, right outside of the huge city, so when we booked the room and decided to go across the street to the only Walmart for miles, we ended up in a small store that was atleast thirty years old (and it showed, trust me). In the cosmetic aisle we walked up to two girls about 18 years each and kindly asked them where the closest Kroger was. And they started laughing at us saying "Only store we got 'round here is this ol' Walmart. We deffinitally ain't big 'nough to get a Kroger! Next grocery store is a Target and that's 'bout 30 miles right there." We thanked them and practically ran out the store! Haha!
Thankfully, we had many bags of chips to snack on and cokes to drink from the short ride. That morning I got up at 9:45 am to go grab a quick breakfast. Thinking we'd be alone (breakfast ended at 10) it was actually pretty packed. I got some food and sat down. A lot of kids my age were running around, smiling at me which gave me a little comfort. Around 10:30 I took the elevator back up to my room (#222) and washed my hair while my mom packed up the stuff we brought. Around 12:00 we checked out, but ended up staying until 2:30 pm because a nice lady from a non-profit youth christian program noticed me and asked if I was in modeling. She and my mom got talking and we found out a lot. She was a councoler for the group and also an acting/theater teacher. They also got into talking about Cordele as a town and she ended up telling us that quote "They worship that Walmart! They need some new shops! What do they do around here?!" unquote. Interesting... ;D
We drove for another five hours and ended up getting about 30 miles from our destination. We checked into a Fairfield Inn (Mariott) in Palm Coast and that's how I got to being here! Both hotels are very nice/new! Maybe you can check them out!
Well, I'm tired. I'm just going to hit the sheets now. Beach tomorrow! I think..? Disney World Thursday! Universal Studios Friday! Seaworld Saturday! Haha! Good night!
P.S. Did I let you know how hot the guys in FL are? I mean, I don't know why, but they seem better than in Georgia! We stopped in Steak and Shake and I felt like I was in heaven! But I'm still going with Kimani... (He kept me from dying of boredom through the whole trip! So I have to give him some credit!) Haha!
