This was by far the longest, most intense day of driving. I would say about 9 hours in the car. Two and a half of those in traffic in SC, in the middle of no where. (A milk truck jack-knifed and caused a huge back up.) Thankfully Scott had us take a nice hour and a half hike through Eno River State Park in NC before we hit the road for the day. Oh, and let's not forget the Waffle House experience before that. I am good if I never go back to one. I now call it "The Awful House"...
The family is so thankful to have a clean hotel room, and to have had a fun night dip in the hotel pool. What a contrast from last night. Of course Scott and I used it as an opportunity to explain to the kids that, "Yes, the room was
nasty. But there are literally millions of people that would give anything to sleep in a temperature controlled environment, and feel safe." I did not however insist that the kids clean their plates at The Waffle House because other kids are starving...I just wanted to get the he*l outta there!
Off to New Orleans tomorrow. I'm tired just thinking of it.
