Trip 1 to Florida

So we've made our first trip to Florida, and it has been a success!

When we left on Saturday, at first we didn't think we were going to be successful at all.  We got into our car at 4:15 am and went to plug TomTom in, and low and behold, the cigarette lighter in Matt's car doesn't work.  Thank goodness we hadn't left yet, so we ran back upstairs and printed off lots of Google maps.  Since our entertainment was on an MP3 player, we ended up driving the entire trip down here in complete silence.

We got to Florida on Sunday afternoon, and drove around exploring the main part of the city, and we ate late lunch/early dinner at a local pizza place, and called it a night.

Monday was SUPER busy and productive.  Matt got all signed up to teach at his school and got to see his classroom.  Then we went apartment hunting.  Because we needed something available NOW and not like August, we had 2 choices: a cheaper place that looked run down or a more expensive place that had more square feet and storage room and looked nice.  We went for the more expensive one, and are happy about that situation.

Now, our plan is to go explore the new apartment, map out where we're going to put our furniture, and then tomorrow, we drive home to Iowa!
