So we got here. It took a while, as expected, but we got here safely and without problems. We were all pretty cranky getting off the car, which is worrying me, because its only the first day. We pretty much got over it when we saw that our family’s favorite movie, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” was on television.

There’s a couple of things you should know. First of all, remember that we’re on Central Standard Time (CST) now. That means we’re an hour earlier than you guys. Its kind of weird that we gained an hour. Second, we have to reconfigure the set up of the van. The suitcases in the back are fine, but the food in the front makes it a hassle to get on and off the van. Third of all, we have a 9 hour drive ahead of us to Dallas, Texas. We’re expecting a long drive, because, well, it is. We’re expecting some thunderstorms according to the Weather Channel. And we’re expecting to get to Dallas all excited because we get to hang out with some very good family friends!

Thank God we have the Kruegers to look forward to instead of hard beds and small spaces in another La Quinta.

much love,

Want to go to Pensacola in 12 seconds? Check this video… made totally with pictures taking from the front of the van.

Today’s trip was a full day of driving all the way up to Pensacola. We actually departed later than expected as Becca had an SAT test to whiz through. Once on the road, it didn’t take Gracie long to say, “hey, can we watch a movie?”. Well, i always thought those car DVD players were a joke considering that my Mac computer has a much better (and way bigger) monitor than those puny players. So we hooked up some wires and viola! Wide-screen movie with surround sound in the van! We saw August Rush first which has an incredible sound track.
