February 26, 2012

We awoke to clouds and rain this morning and decided to make a serious drive towards home. Our room was in a hotel right off Route 95 so we quickly hopped on the interstate and drove on it all the way to Dunn, North Carolina. It was raining heavily at times while we drove through Florida.




At the exits to Daytona Beach, we saw the Goodyear blimp circling the racetrack area. The right traffic lanes were filled with cars going to the NASCAR 500 Race. Earlier in the week, we had half seriously considered trying to get tickets and go to the race. I am glad that we didn’t follow through on that idea because the race was postponed until tomorrow due to the rain.




So we were on the road 10 ½ hours and by the time we arrived here in Dunn at 5:30 p.m. I was pretty much done! However, we estimate only a 5 ½ hour drive to Dunkirk and both of us are ready to be home once again after having a nice taste of spring and summer weather to tide us over.
