Fl Trip Day 10 Driving

So last night ended our official vacation with the launch of the shuttle. What a great way to end the trip. We spent the night at a Days Inn right in Coco Beach on the main HWY. It was a quick drive to get to from the launch site. We took our time and packed the car back up for the long drive and made sure the kids were filled with breakfast and snacks. We we doing well leaving the Orlando area but then Glenn missed our turn off to head North on the 75 so we diverted off track and had to take some smaller roads to get back on to the 75 North. Then just as we got back on track we ran into bad traffic on the FWY. It was like a dead stop for 1 hour so we got off and made a side track around Gainesville. There was a big trailer truck accident with a few cars in a pile up. So it made us add another 2 hours+ to our detour. By night fall when the kids were tired of the 8 hours + time in the car we made it to just off the 10 and 75 to stay for the night. We were all glad to be out of the car. We had done so well on our trip by not getting into bad traffic and problems I guess it was our day to get stuck. Tomorrow we could push it and drive all the way into to TX but with today we think we might take one more day and come in on the 18th. We will have to see.
