Relo: Day 2
8:45 (mile 525) We get on the road. Katie falls asleep almost immediately.
10:30 (mile 653) We enter Alabama. The terrain instantly looks different, less mountainous.
10:50 (mile 673) We have to stop for gas. Katie wakes up. As we drive into Fort Payne for lunch, I realize we are fulfilling a lifelong dream of mine. We have found the Sock Capitol of the world! We ate at Arby's. Pricey, but good. Next time, I'll make sure to ask for no mustard. Damn that stuff was spicy! Oh, and the kids sandwich was just like mine, but with the crusts cut off, no mayo, mustard, lettuce or tomato. Kinda sad, actually.
12:00 We get back on the road. It's like we can't stop for less than an hour.
1:00 (mile 750) Halfway!
1:40/12:40 (mile 800) I notice that the time has changed. Not really sure where.
2:00/1:00 (mile 826) We stop for snacks and get some gas. I get to recover the chicken that has been bock bocking every time we hit a bump. There were a lot of bumps. I achieve a new level of white trash by breastfeeding ouside the gas station, sitting on the ground leaning on the building and feeding Jamie M&M's.
2:35/1:35 Back on the road. Both girls falls asleep. I'm in heaven, aside from the fact that I can't feel my ass.
3:35/2:35 (mile 900) We enter Mississippi.
5:40 (mile 1055) We hit the Mississippi River, and enter Louisiana.
6:30/5:30 (mile 1095) I actually price checked a couple hotels. Ok, two, and they're right next to each other. We're socked in and waiting for Rex to catch up, and for the sugar to wear off so I get hungry.
