Day 3 NC to SC

7:33 AM arrived at Fayetteville charging station. We wanted to go to a diner but with everyone so hungry, we just parked the car at the charing station and decided to try out Waffle House for the first time. We had to cross the street which was SCARY. The Waffle House was the smallest building and the smallest Waffle House building we have ever seen. When we walked in, EVERYONE turned and stared at us. Why? Because we are not sure if there are any Asians who cross through this neighborhood. The employees were African American and all the customers were African American. It felt like they had just saw our faces on America's Most Wanted. It reminded the wife of the time she brought her African American friends to an Asian restaurant in an Asian neighborhood. We laughed about it, made good conversations and some new friends before we finished up our low quality breakfast. 
Rating of super charging station: 2/5
Not a lot of useful shops around for us. Was not very clean. 

We brushed our teeth by the car and then off we went to Santee, SC charging station - ETA 10:22 AM

We are driving to Santee, SC and we are loving the green plants we see. And the roads are so flat! Check out the attached picture.

Next exciting thing coming up? The husband won't stop talking about eating a seafood spread. He has spent hours on his phone during the car ride finding the exact place he wants to eat the seafood spread. It looks like Savannah, GA will offer us what we need. We are going to get our hands dirty.

And you know you are getting closer to Florida because you see palm trees. The little one gave the palm tree a hug :-)

Day 2 April 20, 2017 MA to CT to PA

April 20, 2017 7:30AM While the little one kept sleeping, we all got ready and hung out. 8:30AM we drove our friend to Harvard University where she works and then headed straight to Dedham Tesla shop for a car assessment. 10:45AM We were ready to get on the road towards Florida!! Specs of car: Tesla Model X 90D with 259 miles per charge Instead of going down I95, which would take us through NY and D.C., we routed  our way around that traffic area by going through I84West which then turns into I81. Car recommended charging in West Hartford, CT. 1:30PM Before heading to the charging station, we stopped at Besito, a Mexican/Latin restaurant, 12 minutes from the charging station and before it. It is not your typical, casual Mexican restaurant. It was a more high end atmosphere. The place is very big and with super duper tall ceiling. The staff were very friendly. The food was great too! The husband got two enchiladas and the wife got two tacos. Amazing! After lunch, we charg...

Day 3 We Made It!

4:03PM  arrived at St Augustine, FL our last charging station before we reach our hotel! 10% charge left. We are recommended to charge for 30 minutes.  5/5 in St Augustine Preminum Outlet! Shop away ladies! After the charge, we reached our destination! Yeah!!!  Our sight seeing drive caused a scare for our family back in Maine. We saw two buildings that are purposely structured to look broken. One was broken and slanded as if it went through an earthquake while the other was upside down. The wife texted pictures to family in Maine with a note "Natural disaster in Orlando right now. We must all evacuate immediately! Will keep you updated!" The husband got many missed calls from family members and wondered why :-) Oh, we can't forget to mention! We traveled through 9 states with everyone  safe and sound. It is not until during our  2 hours drive to the hotel that we almost got into a car accident 3 times! A small Prius tried to push  us o...

Day 2 Connecticut to Pennsylvania to Maryland

5:45PM arrived at Moosic, PA Tesla super charging station with 44 miles left It took 3 hours from the last charging station to this PA charging station - that long stretch was a bit too long for the little one. She was getting a little restless, but luckily with FaceTime with family, playing with toys and drawing, we made it to PA just fine. Interestingly, the car said we would have 15% charge left when we arrive, but we actually had 17% from the regenerative braking. We have only driven the car in the winter with the observation that we loose more charges and miles  (a.k.a %) in the cold weather. However, with the weather getting warmer and warmer as we head south, we are loosing less charges as we have been experiencing in the winter. Moosic, PA charging station (Rating: 5/5) - A really big mall plaza with tons of shopping stores (great for the ladies! and kids!) - Plenty of restaurants that are walking distance within the plaza parking space - Clean The little one kept...
