We had originally intended to blog daily, but let's face it, folks. The kids had us FAR too exhausted to even look at a computer yesterday.
We got on the road around 10:30, after having to make an emergency stop for a forgetful friend. (You are welcome, Christina!) Before we had hit Dalton, we had two potty breaks and knew we had a long day in store. Stephen was thankful that I had already booked a room in Roanoke to break our 10 hour drive into two days.

After the first initial stops (a Wendy's with no changing station + very gross diaper, and Momma stepping in some gum), the trip began flowing much smoother. We had a ton of scenic entertainment, starting as early as our neighborhood. There was a wild turkey running down our street as we left! As we entered good ole Tennessee, the very first billboard was for The Optimist Teen Center & Dragstrip. (Seriously, are you going to send your teen to a dragstrip?)
Connor was engrossed in Cars on the portable DVD player. He kept saying, "Momma, I float like a Cadillac, and sting like a Beaver." Close enough! He dozed for a little while, and awoke yelling "My weiner won't stay down!" God Bless little boys, and their parents!
Avery was not such a happy camper without face time with his momma.
We arrived at our hotel and immediately had to sample both the indoor and outdoor pool. Once the entire family was completely water logged, we went to Red Robin (YUM!) for dinner. The whole family was asleep before ten.
This morning after a quick breakfast we hit the road again. After two quick potty breaks, again within the first 40 minutes of driving, we settled into our drive and quickly arrived in Hagerstown, Maryland, at our dear friend John's house.
He has a large, large yard that Connor ran himself ragged in, and lives very close to "horseys" so our little man was thrilled. Avery took a nap, and we then went to City Park. The park was gorgeous, and had lots of ducks, geese and swans to feed. Connor and Avery were entertained at the playground by John's patient and sweet daughter.

We hope to have another busy outdoor day tomorrow!
