Third day on the Road

Day one found us driving 515 miles and spending the night in Pensacola, FL, the city Todd was born in 43 years ago. Would have liked to drive by our old homes but can't remember the address. Stayed at the Comfort Inn because they have a fitness room. Asked if there was a Whataburger close and found out one was a mile down the road. Doug and I walked down, talking about the Whataburgers we ate as a young married couple and how Doug would have to fight to keep Todd and I out of the fries on the way home. Bryan always had more will power and could wait with his dad, but oh the good smells in the car. What we now realize that memories should just stay that...memories. So disappointed in the burgers not at all what we remembered. Next day drove about the same distance but it took almost an hour longer as we got on HWY 90 and drove along the gulf. Beautiful but slow going only 45 mph. Time to get ready to drive to Verl and Lynda so will continue later.
