I got impatient waiting for spring to arrive so I drove south to meet it. Amy and I left Massachusetts at 4:30am and headed south. Once the sun rose we started looking for signs of spring. We also placed our bets where the ground would finally be snow-free. We both thought it would be gone by the time we reached Maryland, but we still found snow in northern Virginia. We spotted our first daffodils, then tulips, and then much further south fruit trees in bloom and finally green trees. Spring unfolded before us in a single day.
The roads were dry and mostly empty, but the wind was howling and the temperatures cold. It was still in the 40s (F) when we entered Georgia. We had easy cruising pass the pretty lights of Jacksonville, but lost an hour sitting in a construction backup north of Daytona Beach. We finally reached Orlando 21 hours after we left. That bed sure felt good!
