Day Two

After our final marching orders were given in Morehead, the "Baseball Youth" road trippers got on the road en route to Orlando, Florida on Wednesday.

Full of energy as we hit the highway with a full head of steam, the drive was chalk full of laughter and anticipation out of the gate. During our trip, we are driving a Nissan Armada and pulling a decked out "Baseball Youth" trailer behind us. The SUV is extremely spacious, allowing us to really spread out. Last weekend, I made one of the best purchases in recent memory, as I gave into mainstream society and bought an Apple iPhone. In all honesty though, it is an AMAZING device, and I can't imagine doing lengthy traveling without it. And between the iPod feature, video viewing, unlimited Internet and email and ability to take picture of Kohrs as he sleeps in the front seat, this thing really makes the time fly.

We made several stops along the way since the Armada has as much of an ability to hold gas as Fat Bastard in the Austin Powers movies. And for the first time in my gas-pumping career, I actually saw the spinning numbers eclipse $90 for a single fill-up. Wow. For lunch we decided to stop off at the gas station-connected Wendy's in Renfro Valley that we thought it would be empty, but is apparently the place to be during that area's lunch hour.

Later on as we approached the near 11-hour mark and got past rush hour traffic in Atlanta, we decided to call it a day and stop at the Ramada in Tiffin, Georgia. Following a long day in the car, we quickly got to sleep in anticipation for our descent into the Sunshine State.

Until next time,
Chris
