Going to sunny Florida

Just wanted to let everyone know that we will be leaving for Florida on 1/7 and returning on the 1/14. Depending on what the weather does, I may put the Summer wheels back on. Heck, I am going to look at the future cast and if it doesn't change drastically, I may change them a few days before we leave. What a Winter.

Wave toward the east as you go through Jacksonville on 95 and we'll wave back.

Or, alternatively, you could get off 95, head east on route 10 for about 17 miles 'til you get to the beach and we'll buy you lunch/dinner/whatever and put you up for the night.

We are members of Sunshine and I posted in the MINIS of Orlando forum. We are staying with some friends in Gainesville.

Gainesville will be a fun place to be that week, with the Gators in the BCS Championship game on 1/8. If you like burritos and guacamole, make sure you check out Burrito Brothers off University Avenue. Their food is famous!

Go Gators!

Changing wheels...

Hey fellow DCMMers, since we will be going to FL @ the end of the week, I have looked @ the 10 day forcast for here and FL and I am going to change back to the Summer wheels. Once we get back, I will judge the weather and see about changing back to Winter.

On a side note, I saw a banner on www.theweatherchannel.com and it has a MINI covered in snow. Of course, the banners are random, so you may have to refresh it a few times.

Ok, um, let me sort of take it back! I think that there's one in or next to Columbia, but I can't seem to find the address.... I'll have to do some 'recon'!

But I do *know* that there's one in Annapolis, MD in the city dock area downtown!

It's a southwest/tex-mex burrito type place, not entirely different than places such as Chipotle, Qdoba, or Desert Moon Grill.

If you get around the Disney area wave if you see us. We are usually traveling around the 192 area.

Unfortuniately, no one on Sunshine MINIs has replied to my thread on the MINIs of Orlando forum. That is why I don't really post there. Many people looked at the thread, but only 1 reply.
