Start: Gatlinburg, TN
End: Jackson, TN
Miles: 349
So much for starting early. It took us nearly an hour to get the car packed from our hotel room. I swear we didn't acquire that much stuff while were in Gatlinburg! So why won't it all fit??? After a trip to the post office to drop off a couple of packages (including a package for two amazing boys who live in Georgia), it was off to Jackson, which is halfway to Springfield, Missouri (where my grandparents live). We stopped for lunch in Arby's after becoming thoroughly confused on why it was still 11 am when it was supposed to be 12 pm (hooray for time change!). Our next stop was Wal-Mart to pick up a sun shade to use in the car for Balian, who had been crying because he couldn't properly see Despicable Me. While we were there, we also picked up a handy dandy backpack leash for the boy. He promptly fell on his face after it was put on. That was our last stop before arriving in Jackson, Tennessee. John even let me pick the hotel for the night (which is a nicer one than he would have picked). After unloading shower stuff and our clothes, we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings for a delicious dinner. Back at the hotel, Balian enjoyed a nice bath and wrestle time with mommy and daddy. Now, time for bed to get ready for another day of driving, and two days of rest.
