We arrived safe and sound in Florida today.  While Paul at our rental and played with the kids, I went out to do the grocery shopping.  While there is a Publix just down the road, I thought I would use our new GPS and head to a Super Wal-mart since it was only like 10 miles away.   After driving in a down pour, getting stuck in a traffic jam due to an accident and dealing with trying to find a parking spot I now know why I should of just went to the local store.  I could of saved close to an hour of my time!  (if not more)

While shopping at wal-mart though it was funny to see short sleeve shirts on clearance.  Here up in Michigan the short sleeve stuff is just starting to make it’s way onto the racks.  While we do have the clearances going on, they are for the winter clothes instead.  Plus here they have aisles of swimming and summer outdoor things like pond kits. While we could think of putting a pond in right now, the only real planning we could do would be to draw it out on paper.  No digging and getting it all put together, until the snow melts and the ground thaws.

All I can say is after 1 day down here, I’m so ready for spring to arrive up north.  Why oh why did that groundhog have to see his shadow?!?
