TRIP TO FLORIDA

Last Thursday Angela and I went to Jacksonville Florida to move Kelsie into a new apartment. She is working down there this summer and will be a senior at Jacksonville University this Fall. Kinda hard to believe, isn't it?!? She found this one-bedroom apartment and will be there through her senior year.

Angela drove a Budget rental truck with Kelsie's bedroom set, a pair of couches, table/chairs and a variety of household items packed in tubs and boxes. She "whipped" that truck down the Interstate, up and down the hills/mountains, and through the dreaded Atlanta just like a pro! We were two days on the road and glad to get to our destination safely.

We met Kelsie at work at 4 pm on Friday. She didn't get off until 5, so we went to a nearby Publix and got a few necessities and then followed her home. These pictures are kinda mixed up, but will give you a brief look into her apartment.

This is her bedroom - all put together and decorated.

Kelsie surrounded by boxes, tubs, etc. as we get ready to "dig in". To her right is the living/dining room, and to her left is the kitchen. Notice her bike on the small patio. 



Two beauties heading to the beach - after all one can't go to Florida without hitting the beach, right? I, however, stayed "home" and read a book and took a nap.

Monday night we went to a beach-side restaurant for dinner and took a walk on the beach. Kelsie's friend Kelley went along and took this picture for us.

We made several trips to Walmart, Home Place, Publix, etc. - and in the end we were pleased with the result. I hope Kelsie will be happy there. She is a very independent, responsible young woman. Angela and I flew home early Tuesday morning - 5 am departure on Southwest Airlines, 30 minute connection in Nashville, arrived in Midway on Tuesday morning and Grandpa was there to meet us.
