Our trip to Pensacola was smooth and uneventful, except for driving so far yesterday because there are so few places to stop on 45 in southern Mississippi. We arrived at the show at 9 am, a record. However, we couldn't set up until 12:30 because of a tour. So, we put chairs out beside the car and enjoyed the warm breeze for awhile, walked around awhile (I found a great consignment shop!), and had lunch. We still had lots of time for a long walk on the beach and visits to some of the shops. There's much less in all of the shops this year. The rates at all the motels seemed down. BUT, there were more people here on the beaches today than we've seen for a long time.
We really enjoyed the Kia! I can't believe how much room it has. The seats were taken out and left at the rental place in Burlington. We got the workbench INSIDE and had plenty of room for the suitcases and the large cooler. I suppose John C has less for sale this trip, though, so there may have been less boxes. The gas mileage was about double that of the Suburban. We really like the doors, also. It's easier to load and unload with the door alongside the car instead of sticking out at an angle. Hmm. What else? Oh, there are separate temperature controls for the driver's side and passenger side. The seats were REALLY comfortable and there was lots of leg room.
I'll get better photos later and we'll send postcards to all the little ones.
Thinking of Ft. Hood tonight.
