Moving Roadtrip

Its true.  A new blog post.  Don't hold your breath, but there will be more soon.  We now have a house (separate post to come about that), and Internet, so blogging should be a lot easier than it has the past month or so.  We are finally getting settled here in Georgia, and I was able to go through some pictures and rewind a few weeks ago of when this adventure began.  If you read the Things we've learned post down below you'll get a good glimpse of our three day road trip to Georgia, but here are some pictures to go along.

 This was our set-up for the three day adventure.  

End of the first day traveling, we spent the night somewhere in Louisiana.  I was tired, probably grumpy, and had shed way too many tears from leaving my family and Texas.  Luckily, Shane understands the power of Diet Coke, frozen Cokes from Sam's and Shopping.

Day two was better, and our first stop was across the Mississippi river.  We were amazed at how wide it was.   

We also visited Vicksburg, Mississippi a big civil war battle site.  Although it was rainy, and we were pulling my car, we drove around the park for several hours.

Day three, I was excited to get to Georgia.  First we conquered the back roads of Alabama, and did quite a bit of shopping along the way.

Our first stop in Georgia was to loose that car that had been following way too closely the past three days.  Shane was thrilled not to be pulling my car anymore!

Our first meal in Georgia was provided by Jason's Deli (wedding pasta).  I should have taken a picture of the outside of our new home - Hampton Inn and Suites.  It truly did start to feel like home after 9 days here, the staff definitely knew us.  I'm pretty sure they thought we'd moved in permanently with the amount of stuff we had in our room, including all my plants!

The crock pot soon became my friend, along with waffles for breakfast, high-speed wireless Internet, the workout room, daily cleaning services, and the pool.

Shane leaving for his first day of work in the real Army.  I was so sad to send him off alone, but everything worked out fine, and he survived.  We have quickly fallen into a routine with that 5am alarm for pt every morning, although its not my favorite, it works.
