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 over, a fast and furious car tried to change into our lane even though we had already changed into the lane and two motorcyclists tried to race with us I think. Lucky for the motorcyclists, the car software  can recognize motorcycles. We put our trust in the husband and went down for a nap. 


We are going to go offline from the internet world for a bit because our mind is racing on what food to eat, what is on International Drive, what orchards to go to, is there such thing as alligator jerky?, do they have an Asian town/Chinatown? Where can we go to see a flea market of fruits and street food near our hotel?

Day 1 April 19,2017 - all charged and ready to go!

April 19 - we worked all day and came home by 4:30pm. We threw everything that we were bringing on the trip into our luggages. Somehow the little one's things took up 1.5 luggage! We packed so fast amd so many things - you would have thought we were running out of the country because the FBI and squad team were coming to get us. We made sure to let Grandma know to not let the little one nap so she can nap during the car ride to Somerville/Boston, the wife's college friend's condo. Successful! Trip down to Somerville, MA Charge when leaving home: 168 miles and stopped by Grandma's house on the way to pick up the little one. When the little one saw all the luggages and her sleeping bag, she said "Go hotel swimming Mama?" We had to prep her little mind that to was not a hotel, but telling her that we weren't staying at a hotel was too hard for her little mind to comprehend, so we said, "This place is like a hotel but it is too small to have a swimmi...

Day 3 April 21, 2017 Autopilot and ALMOST THERE!

4/21/2017  The husband drove through a couple of Virginia super charging stations. Not much details since the wife was sleeping.  People have sent us questions on whether we recommend driving through the night and what is the autopilot like. Below are some of our quick thoughts on the questions.  Would you recommend driving through the night? Yes, especially when you have a little one and depends on how tired you are. She was comfortable in her car seat and slept through the entire night, so we covered a lot of distance with less stress on keeping her happy and entertained. We did not encounter traffic, so again we covered a lot of miles without wasted time. There were not a lot of cars on the road, so using autopilot was amazing! Not that autopilot does not do well with a lot of cars but it just makes it even more relaxing. We were not in a rush to get to a destination, so we kept it open on whether we need to stop or not. Our original plan was to stop at t...

Day 3 12 Hours Left! VA to NC

3:15AM Driving to Rocky Mount - Oh no! The Wife is DRIVING! Wife finally woke up and took over the driving for the husband to sleep.  While the wife was driving and everyone was sleeping in the dark, quiet night, it did feel like we were running away from a crime scene, being chased by the police officials. And for a moment, it felt like we were beating them -  Nothing can go wrong when you got one of your partners in crime with you in the passenger seat and one in her car seat with her secret weapon - baby doll Daisy? 65 degrees outside at 3am. Very nice! We want to say we feel bad leaving our friends and families behind in the cold, rainy weather of Maine but as you know, we are awful at lying ... so we will admit it, we are loving the heat :-) 5:25AM arrived at Rocky Mount, NC super charging station. The car suggests we charge for only 15 minutes to continue to the next charging station, which is what we did. The wife continued to drive.  Rating: 3...
