Halloween In Florida

This Halloween we decided to change plans up a little and head to Florida for Bobby's friend Anthony's 30th Birthday. It was a celebration known as "Anthoween" Kelly, Anthony's wife, really went all out. She decorated the house, had a fog machine, a dark hall way entrance and lots of fun Halloween treats. We should have driven 1/2 way Friday night and then gotten up to finish the drive, but in stead we got up at 5:30 and headed down to the Sunshine State. We were actually making good time when we got caught in a fatal accident (or shall I say, behind it) for 2 hours. YES, 2 solid hours in park on Highway 275. We got to know our neighboring cars and really just vegged out.

But, the long 10 hour drive was well worth it. We dressed up as "Georgians" and stopped along the way to pick up local pecans, peanuts, a small bail of Cotton and lots of Georgia Moonshine. It was a hit and so was my Southern Soldier. Bobby even wore an authentic sword all night. Well... almost all night. There came a point when he was unable to stand up strait and hold the sword so I had to put it away, but he had a good time speaking in his southern accent and helping me go to the bathroom with that big hoop skirt. Best Halloween we've had since we've been together, but Bobby was sad to miss Fox-o-ween this year! Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Looks like you had a blast, though we missed you very much at Fox-o-ween. You were headed for a three-peat!
