...Day one on the road to Texas

I must start by saying this was one great road trip. We went on the road knowing we were going to stop often and decided to take in as much as we could. Our first new city was Port St.Joe. We did arrive late but did enjoy the ride there and spent some time exploring the town that morning. We found there wasn't much to explore but it was still beautiful.  
Here is Maddy with the map I made him before leaving on our trip. The map was used so often it was wrinkled and almost unrecognizable by the end of our trip. He loved asking every couple hours where we were and moving the Journey (our car) to where he wished we were at that point in time. 

Window clings were fun for a while although they did end up ripped and lost all over the back seat. 

The eye spy activity was a hit. I simply put  colored rice inside a container and added little nick knacks to them. Both Landon and Maddy loved  looking to see what they could find. 

This was outside a Walmart we stopped by. We let the boys explore the toy aisles to get some energy out. We probably spent about 45 minutes in there and it actually worked out really well. As you can see it got a little chilly in North Florida. The boys are going to be in shock when we arrive in NY in a couple weeks. 

This picture was taken in Port St.Joe. The fishing piers  were fun for the boys to run on and were really beautiful in the early morning sunshine.

Love this wooden swing near the dock. 

On our way to the Naval museum. Landon is one silly boy!
