On the Road, Again!!

SO here is the update! We left yesterday, Saturday, At about 7:30 in the morning. Our efforts were not quite organized like they have been in trips past. Ebby discovered that driving behind the truck at only 70 MPH was not something that was overly appealing to her so we decided to just kind of break up into 2 groups. 1 group, me and Mike, 2nd group Ebby and the kids. For what ever reason we decided to meet up at lunch. We stopped at one of the "oasis' " along I-90 in Illinois. So ebby and the kids had got some distance ahead of us and had to wait about 30 minutes for us to arrive. They were already done eating by the time Mike and I got there. Overall that stop was more than an hour. Basically throughout the day we did not coordinate our potty, fuel, and food stops. That is what it boils down to. It turned into a very long day. We weren't that worn out when we got there though. Also on the way we discovered that the brake pads on EB's car were worn down and grinding. BUMMER! We were trying to get service set up for Sunday. It was not working and we couldn't quite figure out what to do. So we called Beth, EB's mom, and told her the situation. Walt, EB's dad, overheard the conversation and came up with the brilliant solution of switching the vehicles. So, this morning we put the Passat on the trailer and EB and the Kids drove my car. Brilliant!! Thanks Walter Wee Winski!

We stopped at my sister's house in Bowling Green KY. We had cake and ice cream to celebrate EB and Hunter's birthdays. We all chatted and hung out until late then went to bed. We woke up in the morning to the wonderful smell of biscuits, eggs, bacon, coffee, etc. It was wonderful. Scott Ray my cousin and our friends the Jonses all came over. We all ate breakfast together. Very nice. After breakfast we were transfering all of our jun ki from one car to anther and came across my disc golf discs. John Jones and Scott both jibed me a bit about it. Until we turned it into a competition around the Wilson's neighborhood. What a HOOT! Both mikes joined in and we sahot about 6 holes of disc golf with "as you go" rules and challenges. I won...of course. They were all belivers after a fun round of D.G.

Anyway, We drove to the other side of Atlanta and we are nestled in for the night.

More later
