Itinerary: Today's goal was to knock out some mileage. North Carolina was easy sailing but Tennessee did not treat us well with bad weather, road construction and accidents. Tomorrow off to Memphis and Little Rock.
We
have asked the kids to write a journal entry each day. They agreed
as long as I typed it without edits.

Memory:
Today's
our first day on our across country road trip. We drove through
North Carolina and saw some pretty mountains. We pulled over to the
side of the road and took our picture in front of the Welcome to
Tennessee sign. Tennessee is the Volunteer State. We drove a little
more and stopped at a gas station. When we got off the exit it was
raining even more than when we were at the gas station! You could
barely see! We turned on the news and there was an accident the way
we were headed. We missed the exit and the traffic was really backed
up. We went in the other lane that had like no people in it and took
a detour. We kind of got lost but finally we made it to Cracker
Barrel and had dinner there. After that it was pretty good. We got
stuck a little when they were fixing the right lane. We finally got
to see the city (Nashville) when we drove around it. And we saw a
truck carrying three trucks!

Memory:
It
was the day of the big trip! We rented a Tahoe. We drove to
Tennessee. We took a picture in front of the sign. Then I saw
lightning. I heard thunder. It was raining. Traffic was bad. We
finally had dinner at Cracker Barrel. We saw Nashville! We got to
the hotel . We unpacked. We brushed our teeth and got in our PJ's.
Then we went to bed.
