Things I've Learned.
- If we are going to Tennessee, absolutely nothing will prevent us from leaving at noon. Not packing the night before, not planning to leave by nine, we will always leave at noon (this has happened four times now =) - sometimes even intentionally!)
- If we are driving east on I-64 in Kentucky, it will rain so hard that frogs may be even be falling, though it's raining too hard to tell.
- If we are driving south on I-75, we will hear the emergency broadcast system break-in at least once. This time it was only a Severe Thunderstorm warning - from an area we had even passed through!
- My dad will do anything to get out of coming up when I hatch a kid - he blew out his "good" knee in VA on Thursday, so he'll be at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville this afternoon seeing when the next replacement will be. I hope he got a punch card - fill it out and he gets an oil change or a blood transfusion for free or something =)
- Al and Jenna have amazing vocal ranges. Also, it takes at least three times as long to go somewhere on season than it does off season. Al and Jenna are only happy when the van goes at least 45 mph. Sigh.
- It is possible to function without sleep for four days. Adam, the girls and myself are proof. The longest they slept the whole time was two hours. Wee! When we put them in the car to head out yesterday (my dad left early, and we did too), they fell asleep, and we actually had to stop for gas hours away before they woke up. And then they fell asleep again, waking up about Harrodsburg.
- Jenna loves to swim!! Movies will be up later today (once Adam wakes up)
- If you leave your purse in a hotel room, it's really hard to use the Subway card that's almost full for dinner on the way home.
- If the kids are happy: Eville-Pigeon Forge takes just at 7 hours with one stop (aside from pulling over to hop in the backest seat to feed them once). If they are cranky, 10+ hours and four stops. And the Tennessee Welcome Center closes its restrooms at night, as an FYI.
