First two days

We packed up the cars and hit the road Monday at 10:30am. Much later we realized we'd left the milk in the fridge. Oops.

So, we made it to Asheville, NC, that day, miles for the day were 383. We stayed at a Holiday Inn Express on the east side of town, adjacent to the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove. Just thought you'd like to know. The hotel had a surprisingly nice restaurant and Brandon enjoyed pecan crusted trout. Shane had her first elevator rides, that was interesting.

Tuesday we got an earlier start - 8:30 - and set to our 500 mile day. We got to Vonnie and Wendy's late afternoon and the dogs decided to get along well. That was a bonus. Well, mostly Shane played with Jack and Georgia and Quentin crashed around in the bushes by himself getting as wet as possible. Did I mention there was a helluva storm? Yes, it was headed east so it hit Memphis before we got here then passed through us. Really we passed through it but if felt like the other way around. Overnight we had a couple large thunderstorms and therefore shared our bed with Shane for half the night. Quentin barks at thunder and tells it where to go, but Shane can't fight that battle alone.

Today is still rainy so we're trying to find some sheltered activities. Eating ribs is on Brandon's list and that shouldn't be at all inhibited by weather, it's just the rest of the afternoon we have to worry about. We'll let you know how it works out!
