Ironic!

During our day spent on St. Simons Island we expended so much energy we were dead thirsty!  The kids asked someone at the lighthouse where the closest stop for a drink was and they said "somewhere in the village".  That's what happens when kids ask for directions, you get the answer "somewhere in the village".  So, somewhere in the village it was.  Unfortunately, we didn't know where the village was or might be so we decided to wander the island sans navigational aides.  While wandering the kids decided they wanted ice cream instead of a drink or maybe both.  During the drive we saw many seafood restaurants but not much else.  We decided to just head back to the hotel and find something on the main road we had become familiar with when we saw THIS:

 GOOGLE MAPS STREET VIEW

 

 

We were intrigued by the little car with the camera tower so we followed it.  As we were driving, we were looking around us at the people walking dogs or going about their daily lives and wondered if they would be frozen in time, soon to appear on Google Maps Street View. 

 

After following the car for about a minute (like some out of town creepers) my daughter yells "Mom!  Pull Over!"  After remembering how to breathe again, I saw it.  There it was.  A Dairy Queen!  Happiness.  Ironically, the Google Maps car led us right where we wanted to go.  Coincidence?  Hmmmm.  We were grateful and took the time to enjoy some delicious ice cream, ice cold drinks sprinkled with Google conspiracy theories and jokes.  It was a good day. 

 

Ironic.
