Trip to the East Coast

So on April 29th i flew to the east coast for the first time in my life to attend Joe Siegmunds Masters Graduation from St. Leos University in Florida, then landing at Dulles Airport in Washington D.C. I then met up with Steve Siegmund at the rental car place and we took a drive through the country to Fredricksburg, Virginia, where Steve lives to have dinner with my Great Aunt Donna who lives out there too, she is my dads aunt. We got back to Steves place at about 10:30 or 11:00, packed the cars for the drive to Florida then went to bed only to wake up at 1:30 to start the drive. Steve, Steves mother and I then woke up after only about three hours of sleep and started our drive through Virginia to North Carolina, all of which i slept through then to wake up in South Carolina to eat at a place called Shoneys as we walked in we were three of like 8 people not including the staff. I then started to look around and noticed that out of everyone including the staff we three were the only white people in the resteraunt. We then left there to drive through the rest of South Carolina and into Georgia, that is where i got the first feel of the southern humidity and it was actually nice and it smelled amazing, and lets just say the woods on the east coast are about ten times better than the woods here, trees so thick you couldnt see 20 feet into the forest of all deciduous trees.

Georgia was wonderful and beautiful but i was really excited to see Florida which would soon happen in about two hours. When we entered Florida we first hit Jacksonville then cut back towards Orlando then to the house that we were staying at in Zephyrhills, Florida. A small town about thirty minutes outside Tampa. We showed up at about 5 or 6 o'clock and the house was amazing spanish moss hanging from the oak trees.

Heres a picture of the place to give you an idea.

That night Steve and I drove to Tampa to pick Joe Siegmund his older brother from the airport. We messed around with him a little and had him walk about seven lugage carousels down before calling him only to tell him we were standing right behind him. We headed back to the house from there to relax until David and Andie Siegmund got there, the younger brother and his wife, they eventually showed up at about 9 or 10 and instantly Andie starts to lay down the rules, but w/e.

The next day we drove to the university to take care of Joes graduation costs and pick up his cap and gown. Across the street there is a golf course called Abbey Course at Saint Leos University, and ill say that it is probably the nicest 20 with cart course i have ever played and the wildlife was cool as well definetly added to the good day.
The day after that was Saturday and was the day Joe was graduating and it was cool and he was having a blast and this picture shows just how much fun.



Sunday night we packed up and cleaned the house up because we had a plane flight at 7:30 am, so we did everythign the night before. We then woke up at 5 to be there to check in and eat in the terminal.

Thats pretty much it
