We Did it!

We did it! We moved to Florida! Even though our condo is still a mess, we are excited to be here. We are loving the sun, palm trees, rainstorms, diversity, and new friendships. I 'm even learning Spanish. I know uno word. :)
One of our favorite parts of moving here was the long road trip we got to take in our Penske, believe it or not. It was filled with weird looking trees, Rush Limbaugh, Joseph Smith life story CDs, and my new favorite childrens' novel "The Little Prince". Of the ten states we drove through, here are our top five....
1. Utah-Obviously, there 's no place like home
2. Florida-voted for it's beautiful sunny skies, palm trees, beaches -- does that make you want to come visit yet?
3.Tenessee-voted for the greenest surroundings
4. Kansas-voted for the cutest hotel(Thanks to Jenny and Blake), best BBQ, and nicest people
5. Georgia-still really green, next time I 'm there I will make sure and stop for a peach and to tour a plantation
The tour guide. (You know he's a great driver when he is looking at you for the picture and driving at the same time.)The entertainer/lunchlady. I developed a new talent on the road. . .making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches while in motion. "Lunchlady Baker"-has a nice ring to it :)

Remember this, Caldwells? This is the same tunnel we would drive through on our way to Wyoming that we would yell and hold our breath in. Good times.
I know this picture has a glare on it but I wanted to show you our favorite trees in the south. They are covered in leaves. They just look like big blobs on the side of the road. We thought they were pretty great.
