Beautiful Drive to Tallahassee
March 4, 2008 Disney World, Prep, Trips No CommentsIf you were watching as we left Nashville this morning you would have seen the rain continued from the drive the day before. Sorry I missed a post last night but after diving in the NASTY wind and rain all day I had to get a couple things taken care of with the RV. The rain has stopped us from doing a Live show so the Route 66 commercial has been playing. We should be able to get a Live Show done on Wed or Thurs.
It was really bad on the way to Nashville. You might have seen the 3 crashes in the median on the way. Crash might be the wrong term to use here since one of them was just someone who had spun out on the Interstate and ended up in the median. If that has ever happened to you would be scared enough to warrant calling it a crash.
We also had a little mishap with the RV as the wind caught the door on one of our stops and slammed it against the side. It punched a hole in the door so we will need to fix that once we get to Florida. Not a big deal but it still hurts to see it.
We hung out for a little while longer in Nashville than planned this morning to let all the storms pass completely. After a little rain on the start things cleared up in the afternoon. We took the long route through Alabama to miss all the storms going through Georgia. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise since a shortcut we took through Alabama took us down and older 4 lane highway and through about 6-7 small towns. The weather was perfect and we got off the interstate and onto some back roads for a while. It was a great prelude for the Route 66 trip this summer. Most of the roads we will be on will be like this or smaller.
There is allot to be said for getting off the interstate and going through some small towns. I never knew how pretty Alabama was. I have been through it a couple times but never like today. If you ever get a chance to come down this way I highly recommend it. You can even stop at one of the dozens of Flea Markets and get a deal.
Sorry about the new website being as weird as it is for the video. Our developers are still working hard on getting it done. For now I have put back up the old site. I got hundreds of text messages today asking about why certain things did not work or when you tried to move the camera the video just turned blue. They are working on all this in the meantime I put back up the site I hand coded myself. It was never meant to be PRETTY. It was the original code for testing. Best thing I can say about it is “it works”. This was suppose to be a test run and we did not think there would be this many visitors so soon. We are not complaining about the visits. In fact, we are happy people are enjoying it this much. Keep telling everyone you know!
I just personally hate going to a site that does not work. I apologize for the way the old site looks but having something that will work is more important than the look right now. Glad we are doing this test and it was not an official launch!
Tomorrow is the last leg for the trip down. We will be leaving early in the morning for Fort Meyrs, FL. Should be about a 8 or 9 hour drive and the weather is suppose to be clear. We will be shooting some video and getting a live show together down there so stay tuned for more info. After Fort Meyers we will be off to the Home of the Mouse ( Walt Disney World ). We will also be doing a live show from there.
If you have an questions and don’t have our text message ID feel free to post a comment here. You can still qualify for one of this trips souvenir giveaways by posting comments.
Thanks for riding shotgun on the trip down. Should be a great couple weeks in Sunny Florida.
