Desitination Drive: 4,396 Miles: Day 3 Mile 1500-ish

Day 3 begins with us in Evergreen AL. We stayed at a hotel called America's Best value inn, we have decided it should be called America's worst value inn. The staff was unfriendly/unhelpful and the rooms were just scary.

So then we head south and first we have to recoup the miles we failed to make yesterday. We soon make it to florida

It's always sunny in Florida :-)

Once we reach our yesterday's destination(Pensacola FL) we head to the beach:




	Other than the first wave freakng him out a little Eli loved playing in the waves.

We are now done with heading south and now we head west to the Mississippi river. On the way we went thru this tunnel

We also stop at another beach in Mississippi where it was really windy so we flew a kite for a while

We also had to make a parts stop

After some confusion about exactly where we woud find the Mississippi river we get to it

and with some advice from a local find a great spot to go and look at it.

Otto and Lexie have fun rolling down the berm.

Eli thought that looked like lots of fun so he tried too

There was a cemetary right next to the spot to see the Mississippi. They look to be entombed above ground we imagine it is because of the possibility of flooding

So now it is time to eat. We accidentally head back accross the river but decide it is ok we will just grab some food there(Mistake #1). We were trying to go to Chick-Fil-A, but the one the gps directed us to was way off the interstate and within a mall. Since we didn't want to leave the dogs in the car there we decide to go to a Jack in the Box We had passed on our way to the mall(Mistake#2). We get to Jack in the Box and dining area is closed(@8:00pm?!?) the guyinside directs us to use the drive-thru(Mistake#3). After spending about 20min examining their menu we pull up to order and get informed by the same guy who told us to go thru the drive thru that the grill is closed so all the food we wanted to order isn't availible. At this point we are sick of the whole process and want to get back on the road so we decide to grab some snacks out of the dungeon and we will eat when we get to our final destination Beaumont TX. Somehow we manage to miss several turns and wind up spending a bunch of time driving around trying to get back onto the interstate eventually we make it and see this sign.
