Tennessee Trip Day 1

The first day of our trip was quite a busy one! We started the day by going to church. Normally we probably would have skipped but since it was VBS Sunday and the kids were singing and saying their Bible verse in church we wanted to be there. Everything went well and I enjoyed teaching my class about God creating sky and water! This is such a fun unit we are doing this summer! We got home around 11. We picked up Subway and ate quickly and loaded up the car. We were able to leave around 12 or so. We headed straight for Hattiesburg. We brought 2 cars b/c we left Allie with Austin's parents while we were gone. We stopped there for awhile. It helped to break up the trip and give the kids a break from the car. I think Austin's parents were also glad to see us. We left there and were on our way to Alabama. We stopped at the Alabama rest stop and kept on going to Birmingham. We got into Birmingham around 6:30. We decided to find a place to eat first. We stopped at Zaxby's. After a quick dinner we set off to find our hotel and get settled for the evening. It was almost 8 by the time we got to our hotel so we let the kids play for a short time then headed them to bath and bed. Sleeping all 4 of us in a room is always interesting. The kids were super hyped up! Austin and Colby slept in one bed and I slept with Lindsay. I think we were all pretty tired though by 10 and we all slept good. It was a great start to our vacation!
