We got on the road around 6:45am this morning to start our 540 mile journey to Houston, TX. Joey REFUSED to wear the pull I wanted him to wear, but I decided not to fight it out with him since I need to stop for a bathroom as often or more so than he would need to go. Alan got excited when we crossed the Alabama state line wanting to go see our old house and his friend, Madison. He was a bit disappointed to find out she lived on the other side of the state so we wouldn't be visiting today. The boys LOVED the very, very, very, LONG bridge in Mobile!!
Before we knew it we were crossing the Mississippi state line. I would spell it M-I-SS-I-SS-I-PP-I and Joey would echo I-P-I? and we would all laugh! We set the pit stop schedule to stop every 100 miles or so and it stuck most of the trip. The first stop Alan was gonna test my patience and I informed him it wasn't a good idea to start our trip that way. Then Joey piped up saying "me good, me good mom? Eddie good too." He continued to inform me he was being good each time we stopped. We made great time and were checking into the hotel in Houston around 4:30 this afternoon and had time to hit the pool, shower, and walk across the parking lot to Waffle House with a 15% discount for a breakfast for dinner night before American Idol started. We hope to go over to my friend, Jenn's (She introduced Daniel and I) for a bedtime visit to meet her 3 kiddos. We haven't seen each other since Daniel and I got married 10 years ago. She's had 3 kids and I've had 3 kids so we will have a LOT of catching up to do!! We also plan to have a play date with her and her youngest in the morning. I hope tomorrow's travel goes as smoothly as todays!!
