Days eight and nine were mostly travel days. I spent early Friday packing and wandering around the islands for a little while. We had lunch at the marina and then lounged around for a while. We were on the road by 4pm and I must say that driving through Florida is the most boring of all drives. I fell asleep at some point and when I woke up around 9pm we were only in Vero Beach (another of Lance's many brief stops before my mother) however, we did get to stop at Steak 'n Shake for dinner so I was extremely pleased. I fell asleep again soon after and didn't wake up until Washington D.C. and my then I didn't care because I knew exactly where I was on the map. I find it easier to travel long distances with my family when I can track exactly where were are and how long it will be until the car officially stops.
