We left our house on Saturday at 7:09am (I know the exact time because I was hoping that we would have already been gone by then). Chris had borrowed an adapter for the car that allowed him to hook up the wii to the tv in his Tahoe (thanks Kevin for letting us borrow)!! The kids were so excited to play and it was a great distractor. It took us about 14 hours to get here. Only 12 1/2 hours of drive time, but we stopped for lunch, dinner, and at a lot of different rest areas and signs to take the kids pictures. I can't express to you effectively how GREAT the kids did in the car. They were tired at the end (we all were), but they hung in there and we are now ready to have a great week!!!
Caden in the car with the Wii..
Grace was really concentrating...
I forgot to talk about the drive...it rained almost the WHOLE way to Florida. We got pictures of the kids by the signs in Missippi and Florida. It was raining too hard to stop in Alabama and we figured that the one in Louisiana wasn't worth the stop - ha!! This pic of the kids in front of the Mississippi sign is in Vicksburg. I drove across the bridge in the background. I drove across a lot of bridges this trip that I was not expecting. I was white knuckled the whole way!!
The rest area in Florida had a tribute to the Blue Angels. We had to have a picture of it!!
