Road Trip Day Two

Miles traveled on Day Two: about 610
Tires blown near us: 2
Rainbows spotted: 1

If you look carefully, you can see the rainbow in the picture. We ran into a bit of rain on Wednesday, but nothing too bad. Early in the day we saw rubber hurtling through the air-- a coach bus had blown a tire. We thanked God for safety! Not long after, a car in front of us blew a tire, and again shredded rubber flew around. We felt divinely protected.

Atlanta was by far the worst bit of traffic we saw. We hit Atlanta around 5 p.m., and although it was rush hour, it wasn't too bad. What was bad was the driving of the other people! They made Chicagoans look like angels! They changed lanes willy-nilly and cut people off like crazy. We were very glad to get out of there.

We stopped in Valdosta, Georgia after a dinner at Cracker Barrel. Mmm, mmm... chicken and dumplings.

Movin' On Down

Time loaders arrived: 1:30 p.m.
Hours spent loading the truck: 3
Number of feet reserved in the truck: 12
Number of feet actually used: 24


After dinner with Mom and Steph at Max and Erma's, we spent the night at a hotel (thanks to the moving truck company-- their restitution for changing our moving date one day earlier with less than a week's notice). We left town Tuesday after breakfast with Dad at Walker Brothers Pancake House and errands, and a last stop at Pita Inn for lunch.

Number of miles traveled on Tuesday: about 350 to Elizabethtown, Kentucky
Number of flat tires: 1
Minutes it took Pit Crew Brad to change the tire: less than 20

We stopped around 10:30 p.m. and got a room at the Ramada Inn. The only place open for dinner was Shoney's. I hope it's our last time there. The waitress said that the T-Bones were "mouthwatering," but we opted to not get the t-bones. We also learned that that region of Kentucky, close to Indiana, is known as "Kentuckiana."
