Made it to FLORIDA - Day 17

Miles - 253
Today was a travel day only. It was 77 degrees with 80% humidity when we left Bayou Segnette. I guess that was our sign to hit the road! Once again we didn't get an early start but that's okay, it is vacation! We drove over the Mississippi biding farewell to NOLA for now. I am eager to return here for a real "foodie" tour of the area. The tempting creole tastes will bring me back. We did go to Cracker Barrel for lunch.  We are at WM in Crestview, just east of Pensacola, tonight. You might think we made it across Mississippi and Alabama pretty quickly and you would be right. Double check where Hwy 10 goes and you can see it only passes through the most southern portions of the states so there are not that many miles to travel there right along the gulf. We had dense fog in a few places over water ways. A good portion of Hwy 10 is elevated over bayous, rivers, swamps, and bays.  After entering FL we stopped at a nice welcome center and collected maps and other information for our trip. We were concerned about toll roads but now we know what to do so we are all set in case we encounter any.
