Something I had been praying for, which I did not think was going to happen, was the girls have gotten along SO well! They have been laughing and playing and not fighting hardly at all! What a relief since I thought I was going to be refereeing from the front seat the entire trip! ha ha.
We stopped real close to the Louisiana border and liked these cool windmills!
Bienvenue en Louisiane! Love it...
Louisiana was BEAUTIFUL to drive through. I finally saw SO much lush green and rolling hills and it got us real excited for the East Coast again!
Then we got to cross over the Mississippi River!
Mississippi was even more beautiful than Louisiana. My favorite State of all that I drove through.
We stopped in Mississippi for the night. We stayed at the Drury again cause the girls loved it there. They loved all the free soda and popcorn in the lobby. Ha ha. But they had a great time in the indoor outdoor pool.
They loved it!
Ryen was scared at first but her sister helped her get through it!
And they slept well that night!
The next morning we were headed to Atlanta. The days started passing faster it seemed as we were driving through multiple states in a day.
Look what we found at a Pit stop!!
Alabama! Today we stopped for lunch at Jason's Deli. It was DELISH!
Talladega stop. Probably not Daddy's idea of what a "pit stop" in Talladega would be like, ha ha.
We made it to Atlanta!
Tomorrow we will be in North Carolina!! YAY!! But for now, we rest sweetly :)
The next morning we were off! Today we had the shortest leg of our trip. Only 3 hours. We were driving through South Carolina first.
If you watch the show House of Cards on Netflix you will appreciate this next photo!! Ha ha! The Peach Water Tower!!
Then we stopped for lunch at a little Deli in South Carolina, but the girls preferred to spend our lunch break lounging together watching a movie.
After lunch it was time to head to our NEW home State! North Carolina here we come!! (and epic fail on the sign. The ONLY one that came out blurry. Awesome!)
We did not tell the girls were taking them to our new house. We just pulled up in front of it and yelled surprise. They were so excited, cause they had never seen it before!
One of the first things we did was walk the dogs around the block and I think the dogs and kids alike were excited cause they were taking off running!
And the girls were so excited when they saw that we have real "Christmas Trees" in the backyard and already started asking us if we can decorate them for Christmas. Well of course!! Duh!! ha ha.
Unfortunately it would be 3 more days till we got the keys to our new home. So off to another hotel we went. (that was the hardest!) But were staying in South Charlotte near lots of fun stuff and we had survived the road trip with lots of laughs, only 1 near accident, no car sickness or bathroom accidents from any children or dogs and hubby and I didn't lose our sanity! Successful Trip!!
