We didn't do much stopping this morning, as we kept rolling along all the way until 12:30pm, when we would have to find a gas station. We settled upon a Murphy Express station in Tallahassee, Florida because it was quite a bit cheaper than any of the others in the area. Since we were in Tallahassee we decided that it would be worth our while to try to find the state capitol building. We had no trouble actually locating the building itself, parking was another issue. We couldn't find a spot to park anywhere close to the building, and since we were getting hungry anyway we decided that it really wasn't worth the effort to keep looking. We wound our way through the "hilly" streets of Tallahassee, which were hilly enough to provoke Drew to call Tallahassee the "San Francisco of Florida", which seemed appropriate based on some of the streets we were driving on. As I previously mentioned Drew and I were getting hungry, and we ended up settling for McDonald's once again. We found one on the opposite side of Tallahassee, and a little after 2:00pm we ended up stopping for lunch.

We were back on the road, headed home, a little before 2:30pm. We had smooth sailing most of the way, with our only stop being at the Columbia County Rest Area, I-75 Southbound in Lake City, Florida. We did run into some thicker traffic as we neared Tampa from the north, but it wasn't anything too terrible. The clock read 6:29pm when we pulled into the driveway at home, officially ending our trip. The grand total was five days, and 3,304.0 miles, as well as countless laughs, stories, and tears.

Despite the weariness from being on the road for all that time, I am absolutely ready to do it all over again! Hope to see you soon Tyler!

Although the picture doesn't show it well, this is the street that provoked Drew's "San Francisco of Florida" comment about Tallahassee.
