This is my first TR, so please bear with me and forgive me if it's a little rough.
Cast:
DH: Tim
Me: Alison (Tim and Alison- that's where we get the t-and-a from- what were YOU thinking?)
DS 14: Zack
DS 11: Jacob
Date: Thursday June 19, 2008 (road trip)
We left our home in Arkansas around 7:20 AM and started driving. It's close to 1000 miles from our house in Hope, AR to Orlando. I had my trusty laptop with my much beloved Delorme Street Atlas 2009 PLUS software and Earthmate GPS thingy (we can't get lost with that!) Here are the boys in the car Jacob is on the left and Zack is on the right on the morning we left home.
Our original plans were to leave on Friday the 20th, but decided to make a stop in to visit my grandmother in Louisiana on the way. We could not have done this with our original plan because we had planned on leaving at 2 or 3 in the morning and this would have brought us by my grandmother's house way too early. We got to my grandmother's house around 10:00 and left there at about 11:30. The kids had gameboys & a DVD player to keep some of their time occupied. Our ice chest was in the trunk with drinks and deli spirals in it, so we didn't have to stop for food until we were almost to Mobile. Here's Tim right as we were crossing Mobile Bay:
The USS Alabama:
It was rush hour and traffic was terrible. It took nearly an hour just to get through Mobile on I-10. We drove until we got to Tallahassee and got a room for the night. The moon was beautiful that night. This photo does not do it justice:
Up Next: more road trip and arrive in Orlando
