Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida!

Alright everyone.. we have made it to Florida!! We are currently staying in Navarre, which about 25 miles east of Pensacola. As you may have heard from my mom, the drive here was pretty crazy. We all woke up in our Louisiana trailer park somewhere around 5 o'clock because of a ridiculous thunder, lightning, and rain storm. Since we had wanted to make good time driving that day, added onto the fact that we couldn't sleep, we all got up at around 6 and headed out at 7. We had to stop and refuel/get some breakfast snacks at a gas station around 8, so we all got out of the car. At this point there is only one thing to say: It was wet. I do not think that i have ever been in rain that was coming down as hard as it was then. Once we had stocked up on some water and a few convenient-store-pastries, we bolted back to the truck and took off. A few hours later we made it through the storm! We were all very happy about that because there had been numerous reports on the radio about violent storms and tornado warnings and my dad had even got a text message from the National Weather Services. Every hour or so afterwards we would stop to stretch or get some gas but if we waited too long the rain and wind would catch back up with us. It was almost funny, until one of our trailer tires got a hole in it... great. So dad and i went out in the rain and fixed it (kinda) and we took off once again, and broke through the storm, once again. Later on we went and had the tire filled up at a tire shop because the air at the gas stations didn't have enough pressure to do the job. At 3:30ish we finally made it to our campsite. It is a nice little park right on the water of the Santa Rosa Sound. We will be leaving on either Friday or Saturday for the Thousand Trails Park in Orlando, FL.
