I really love early morning drives. Once the dawn broke it was so peaceful, just taking baby highways in the mist and fog. Alabama country felt like home. Oh yeah, the kids stayed back at the hotel, hence peaceful (the oldest is 15, for anyone who feels concerned). About 7:30am (crossed back into CDT at the Georgia border) I started making my personal calls for the day. Yes! Reception!
It was a pretty standard trip for most of the way. Had crazy downpour across the MS and AR border. Re-crossed the Mississippi River. We have one of those back home. :D Here is a pic of a little bug that somehow got in the van. See his cute little camouflage leaf wings?
Got to Arbyrd, MO about 2pm CDT, picked up one driver and waited an hour and a half for the second one to show up. I filled up on fuel, stopped along the way for supper and made it back to Bainbridge about 3:30am EDT - I may have taken the wrong exit and and may have gotten us a little lost while attempting to find the right highway. Fortunately, the drivers knew what it was to drive 21 hours in a 24 hour period, so they didn't grumble one bit. They even seemed to be understanding of the woman-driver thing. Haha! By the way, I am a great driver!! Just a little iffy on navigation it would seem. Ways to grow!
