As mentioned previously, we left Quantico this morning at roughly 1030. The kids were really great in the car. We have meticulously packed/organized everything.. so that definitely made the ride easier. We stopped in Roanoke, Virginia for lunch at Cracker Barrell. The kids were able to get out some energy and have a substantial meal...with plenty of left overs for dinner tonight.
Next stop was at the Tennessee state line. We were there about 15 minutes for bathroom breaks,walks, diaper changes. Our final destination being in Knoxville TN. Our hotel is practically brand new with an indoor pool. Carter and Brandon went down to the pool and hung out in the hot tub. We had our leftovers for dinner and then got PB and Jelly and cheese/bread to have sandwiches for a picnic tomorrow.
Our goal tomorrow is to make it between Memphis and Little Rock. We are just going to play that by ear. The hills and mountains of Virginia were beautiful... I never imagined Virginia was such a beautiful state.... much prettier than Northern Virginia.
I do not miss Quantico that much, however I DO miss my wonderful friends. You know who you are and I love you all. I also am very appreciative to my parents for all their hard work the past few days. They were completely selfless and helped us out more than I could have ever imagined. They are babysitting Brandon's truck for the next 6 months and made the treck back to Myrtle Beach today with two vehicles in tow. All the countless hours of steam cleaning, scrubbing our stove... I am truly grateful.
Brandon and I are excited about our adventure to Fort Sill. We already have confirmed housing and our good friends the Loomis' will be living across the street from us.... LUCKY US!
More updates tomorrow...and lots of thanks to Brandon for buying me this awesome new MacBook!
