Home Sweet Home

Well, it took us 4 days but we're finally here! We needed to leave a few days ahead of schedule because the movers said they'd deliver our stuff on the 30th or 31st instead of the 2nd. The trip has been GREAT! I mean it- really great!

 We took a slight detour out of our way in Kentucky. Our first night we stayed in Bowling Green (about a 4 hour drive). The next day we went to Mammoth Caves and Dinosaur World (pictures to be posted later).

From there we drove about another 4 ours to get back on track in Chattanooga. We stayed downtown and visited the Tennessee Aquarium on Monday morning. Yesterday was our longest driving day. After the Aquarium we drove the entire length of Georgia. Thanks to our DVD player the ride went smooth, without incident and even without much complaining. 

We stayed in Valdosta (pronounced Valdusta) Georgia last night about 20 miles from the Florida border. 250 miles later we arrived in our new hometown this afternoon! We saw the new house, visited the local mall with some new friends and, of course, took advantage of the hotel pool. Our things will arrive on Thursday morning. I can't believe that we actually live here!! I keep telling myself, this is not some cool vacation, it's our new home!

Specific details of our trip and photos will come when we get into our house and find the box with the right cords to hook all that up.

So thankful the trip went well! I can't imagine driving that far with three little boys! :) It sounds like you tried to make it fun too! :)

Congratulations with your move! Wow, what a roadtrip. My move needed an 1 hour drive and that's pretty far in Belgium ;) (mind you, because of that, I moved my own stuff by driving up and down lots of times :p ).
It sounds very exciting to arrive in your new home town. I hope you all settle down soon and that you can enjoy your new house with all your own stuff in it to make it your new home!

Good luck

I feels great to be home and weird to be in a new town all at the same time, huh? So glad you had a safe and happy trip!

Yay! So glad you arrived safely. And the trip sounds like a mini vacation, in itself! Mammoth cave rocks, doesn't it? :)

Enjoy your new home, and can't wait to see the pictures!

Sounds like it was a great trip! That's kinda how we did the move from CA to WA! We stopped at a bunch of great tourist destinations along the way! I think we took about a week.

I now have a great excuse to visit Florida....been thinking about all of you. Now that we've re-connected I don't like you moving so far away!!!! But......the new church needs to be opened. I get it! But the midwest is going to miss your monthly visits!

Hurray!!! I can't wait for the forthcoming pictures and sordid details. :-)

So glad the trip went well. I've stayed in Bowling Green & gone to Mammoth Caves, too! Man, sounds like you drove right thru ATL and didn't see me! Oh well. Can't wait to hear and see more about your new home!

Sounds like all is going well! Keep us posted.

I may have already said this, but I love your new decor! :)
