We're Halfway There

Well, today was a surprisingly exhausting day, considering the fact that I was in a car for 8 hours. Yes, you heard right. 8 hours. And tomorrow, there's another exciting 8 hours ahead of us. 5 of those 8 will be the same as today, with my dad, but the last 3 hours we are picking up my sister and mom at a Florida airport and driving the rest of the way with them. (I'm not sure which airport!) Did I mention our destination? We rented a house on the beach in the north western side of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. I just reread that sentence, and that was a lot of "on's"! Anyways, the drive wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, because I either slept or dozed off a lot of the time. That goes opposite for my poor dad, having to stay awake and alert AND in a cramped position for 8 hours.
While we drove, we came into some heavy traffic with only 100 miles left to go. We passed by a terrible accident, where the car had burst into flames. Then, two minutes and two miles later, we passed by ANOTHER accident, where a car had driven into the ditch between highways. You could see the tracks it made. Luckily, there was no more traffic after that, but we prayed the rest of the way for the people in the accidents.
I think I'm going to make this continued into a second blog, because it was such a long day! (It actually surprisingly was!)
