The drive from South Carolina to Florida was...interesting. Driving through Georgia we both really wanted to get a classic Georgia peach. So we tried a small town off the freeway, and were in a search for just a local market. Which turned out a lot harder then you would think. We went to a town right on the water, and it looked completely abandoned. It was the strangest thing, as if it was a lively town at one point and one day everyone just got up and left. We tried a store that looked the closest to a market, and the second we went in, a horrible stench came over us and the store was absolutely trashed. So we tried the next town... Same thing. We were blown away how both the towns we tried had absolutely no market... Needless to say, we didn't get our Georgia peach.
Once we got to Elaina's grandmas house in Hobe Sound we settled in. It was hot there! Got to wear shorts for the first time since California! Then went to dinner at Bonefish. It's always so exciting to get to go out to dinner on the trip, instead of our regular meals we make in the car. When we got back the Rummikub tournament began. (The best game in the whole entire world) Brooke's first time playing and she's now an addict.
It works out perfect how both of Elaina's grandmas live in towns right next to each other. So the next morning we went to Allegro, the assisted living where Elaina's other grandma lives (Yaiyai), with Gram. We got lunch, met all of her friends, and watched an old black and white movie in the theater room. We both actually really enjoyed the movie. There was a funny connection how the assisted living reminded us of dorm life. It's basically the same exact thing and its awesome to see how much everyone living there loves it so much. Yaiyai loves it there she introduced us to all of her friends! We had dinner at Allegro and then headed back to sleep at Grams, where the Rummikub tournament continued.
We went to breakfast back at Allegro and then said our goodbyes to Yaiyai. It was so great to see her. :) On the way back to Grams we stopped at the local beach. We were at the ocean again!! And this time it was so warm, not like up north. The sand was warm and it was so amazing to be barefoot in the sun. The lifeguard flag had a high hazard warning up, yet the water still looked so inviting. We looked like those crazy tourists that have never seen the ocean before, but we couldn't help it. We were running around in the water with all our clothes on... Oh well :) Back at the house we said our goodbye to Gram and were off to the west side of Florida.
