                            Traffic jams at night

If I thought the drive up to North Florida [1] was bad, the drive back was
even worse! There was heavy traffic southbound on the Florida Turnpike. And
bumper-to-bumper traffic in I-95 south at 11:00 pm. On a Sunday! (“What you
are all doing on the road at this time of night? Why aren't you at home
sleeping?”)

I think it took us … twelve? … hours to get home for what should normally be
a 7½ hour trip (not only did we change time zones, but there was also that
whole “spring back” thing to contend with).

We also learned one should not attempt to eat at The Cracker Barrel [2] on a
Sunday afternoon in North Florida (there was a waiting line just to park!).
