With my new car delivered and broken in, I managed to convince Lisa we should take it on our family trip through the eastern United States. It was her first time driving a 6-speed manual, so the first few hours were entertaining before she got the pattern straight. Luckily I have a reverse lockout so the transmission remained inside the vehicle at all times. Our first stop was Illinois to visit grandparents, then Florida to visit the beach and Joseph. I'm fairly certain Lila did not particularly enjoy the beach, but endured it well after seeing how ecstatic her dad was about it. Lisa also made sure we had time to bring Lila to her first visit to Kennedy Space Center on the way home, which she seemed to enjoy much more than the beach. Our final stop was in South Carolina for Lisas' cousins baby shower. I managed to sneak off and get some serious beach time at Folly beach which was similar to a small scale Key West due to the high number of beach bars. 1800 miles and a week and a half later we arrived home, more exhausted than when we started.
