I know all the best rest stops between here and Hilton Head! Trust Me! If you ever need to know, email me! Hahaha!
We are about an hour away from Tallahassee, Fl. This truly is one of My Favorite Things to say. Go on say it. It's catchy. It's pronounced, towel-a-has-eee! Everytime I see that word I think of another one of My Favorite Things, the 1957 movie, Funny Face with the stunningly gorgeous Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire and the hysterical and multi-talented Kay Thompson. There is a scene where Kay and Fred are folk singers from Tallahassee! If you get a chance watch it. A truly great movie!
Pictures:
Cottondale Rest Stop and the dirt on my car! Not for the bug lovers, but for the bug haters like me, I present the grill of my car. Doing my part to help Mother Nature keep these critters.under control! Oh make sure your not eating when you look ay that one! Hahaha!
Thanks for following my vacation!

Welcome to Florida and the love bugs welcome you too lol....not sure why we call them love bugs because there is nothing about them to love...haha...actually, the only thing we love about them is the end of love bug season.

Our 'love bugs' love you, Jim! They're called love bugs cause they're constantly "doing it, doing it, doing it..." LOL

Gee Jim, you've outdone yourself sharing the bug photo lol! Yes, it is one of my pet hates. I hate it though when big chunky, juicy bugs splat on your windscreen lol.
I love the pic of the gorgeous tree, nice shot!

Your photo of the bark on that large tree is gorgeous - all that texture! I would get that one framed and hang it on the wall to bring a bit of green indoors.

Love bug season is just beginning now so your trip back home through Florida will pick up even more bumper, hood, and windshield decorations. When you get back home don't forget that Bounce sheets and water take the critter carcases off quite nicely, just don't leave the "Bounce juice" on the car.
