So it all begins!!

Wednesday morning rolled around, and it was time to pack up all our things into the Uhaul, and get on the road the plans were to be all packed up and ready to leave by 4:00 Pm so that we could make good time and get at least as close to Louisiana as possible in the first day, BUT... The weather had other plans for us, we woke up and loaded all the motel things into the Uhaul, then headed over to the tailer where it was pouring down rain and had no signs that it was going to ever clear up at all, so that pushed us back a little while, we worked through the rain as much as possible and got everything finally packed inside the Uhaul, we headed down to our families house they all were there to see us off, we had still a lot of running that had to be done and since the rain was against us so bad we all needed new showers, we all showered and packed some more stuff into the truck and everything went and told everyone we loved them and would be seeing them soon!! Which took longer then expected at some but hey that's fine!! We had a really good meal with all our close family members and enjoyed some fun times! 



Everything we had to do and everything we finally got on the road around 11:00pm, and we had a long night ahead of us, Lynn and Braxton crashed out as soon as we buckled them in which was good the highways were BUSY, 

Around 12:30-1:00 we finally was able to hit South Carolina, it felt like we were getting somewhere a little bit but but the timing we needed, after we got into South Carolina, we stopped to try and sleep at a truck stop it was just too loud and to many cars around so we drove some more,  the next truck stop was forever away but finally around 3:00am we found one, we were able to sleep a little bit then around 6:00am we headed out again! 


Mom finally had to finish driving out South Carolina, to Georgia then Jeffrey took it back, we made it to Georgia around 7:30am 


We stopped and ate before we hit Atlanta Georgia at the Waffle House, this group has to have that Waffle House, 

Lynn and Braxton have been great little travel babies, they slept from the time we pulled out of Thomasville North Carolina, all the way until we pulled into Waffle House right at Atlanta Georgia, we went in and ate drove a few hours and Braxton is already back to sleep, 

 
Coming through Atlanta we though it would take us around the by pass (Loop) but instead we went straight into downtown Atlanta, it's a pretty place, 




As of right now we are about 25 miles and we will be into Alabama, we are headed down to Louisiana to see my sister and nephews! 

Keep watching as more will be posted!!

Until next time....Good Night Readers!!
