17

As you know, Hut and I celebrated our 17th anniversary on Saturday. We had no idea how we wanted to celebrate it. Saturday morning arrived and Hut said let's just get on Highway 17, drive 17 miles, count yard sale signs and stop at the 17th yard sale. So that's what we headed out to do. I decided to take it one step further and take pictures of anything with a 17. That was harder than I thought it would be.Believe it or not, this is our odometer reading before we left...starts with a 17.

Less than a mile from the house we picked up highway 17. This is great picture because I'm from the north, Hut's from the south.

Heading towards Haines City highways 17 and 92 come together. We've been married 17 years. If you do the math, we got married in '92. How cool is that?!

A road in Haines City that took us to the 17th yard sale, lol.

This was the 17th yard sale, that just happened to be 17.5 miles from the house. We messed up, though. Hut ended up spending $18. I think he should have put something back.

We had to stop for gas on our way to Orlando. Pump 17 just happened to be free, so that's where we pumped our gas.Once again, believe it or not, this is how much gas the tank held. We were almost on E and filled it up.

Driving to Orlando, we drive through downtown Kissimmee. This was the business door number as we sat at a traffic light.

This is Highways 17 and 92 heading into Orlando (and you thought Orlando was a big city). We decided to stop at Gatorland Zoo. Hut hadn't been there in almost 40 years and it had been 30 since I had been there. But that's a blog for another day. After that we went to the Florida Mall, to the M&M store, by far our favorite store in the mall. That, too, is a blog for another day. I will tell you though, that at the M&M store Hut got a bag full of M&M's with 17 different colors.
