We got up this morning and loaded the few things we had brought in with us back into the car and thanked Mike and Gayle for their hospitality in letting us spend the night on our way back home. Mike offered to fix us breakfast before we left, but we said no - which was really hard to turn down because he makes a TERRIFIC breakfast! We said we would get something on down the road since we have over 500 miles to drive today.
We left their house about 8:30 and headed south on US-231 to US-84 in Dothan and stopped at the Burger King on the Circle and W. Main for breakfast. After breakfast we stopped at the Raceway on the south Circle for gas ($1.899 a gal) before heading south on US-231 to I-10 East. We took I-10 east to I-295 in Jacksonville and then I-95 south to the Sebastian, FL exit.
We stopped for gas a little after 6:00 at the Sunoco just after exiting I-95 and paid $1.959 a gallon. Then we stopped at Little Caesar's for a pepperoni pizza and a Crazy Combo (breadsticks and sauce) to have for dinner. We arrived home at 6:30 after driving 504 miles today - one of our longest days driving on this trip.
Well - you know how good it feels to get back home after a trip? That's how good we felt until we found out that we had NO WATER!!!
We have well water for the house and Mike checked the circuit breakers to make sure they hadn't tripped while we had been gone and everything was fine - except it seems our well pump quit working while we were gone!
Mike got out a water hose and connected it to an outdoor spigot at our next-door neighbor's house and connected it to our house so we would have water tonight and in the morning. We had done the same thing back when Mike put in the new well pump a couple of years ago. Our neighbors are off on a trip for a few days and hopefully it won't take Mike too long will find out what is wrong with the pump and fix it.
