we don't take to kindly to you folk

Hello from our last day on the road. Today proved to be a boring drive through our southern states. We drove through 6 states today including; Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and boredom. Our highlight for the day was Chick Fil-A for lunch where Adam and Jessica both sat in puddles of water. Here are some highlights from our southern neighbors:

  • Not all gas stations have pay at the pump and as a result Jessica was taken hostage at an Alabama gas station. Don't worry negotiations were made and jess was allowed to continue on the trail
  • Robbie and Jessica were in the doghouse when they decided to continue at a grueling pace and not stop until Columbia.
  • At dinner we had the 'waitress that couldn't wait to turn 21'. She forgot Robbie's dinner and told us all about the toilet bowl birthday cake that her friends are buying for her birthday next week. She was redeemed when she did not ask for id and Adam was allowed a drink of wine.
  • Speaking of toilet bowls we met a woman in the elevator that had a drink and a plunger. This would have been acceptable except that she proceeded to tell us about her son who just finished basic and he has been eating a lot of crap. TMI.

Well that is about it for tonight. It was a boring day. Tomorrow includes the final push for Charlestown. Hopefully we won't break an axle or lose any oxen on the way. Our health is good and spirits high. Till tomorrow...

One final note....Atlanta sucks!

Glad you're so close to the final destination. As I am writing this on Saturday morning, you're probably already in Charleston. Hope the move in goes smoothly. You've covered an awful lot of miles. We've been loving the blog. I almost hate to see it end.

I think this moment can be summed up best in the epic words of Boyz II Men...

Although we’ve come to the end of the road
Still I can’t let you go
It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the end of the road
Still I can’t let you go
It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

I am unsure which is more disturbing - the thought of eating a toilet shaped cake or the fact that Mike can quote Boyz II Men. JK
We really enjoyed the blog. Thanks for taking the time. And in conclusion - yes Atlanta sucks...big time.
