Day 1 (January 4th) of Our Trip

Everyone except Mommy, slept in considering we were leaving on a long trip. Finally after we woke up, did our devotions, and people got their showers, we got everything packed- dishes done and garbage emptied. We were ready to leave about 10 a.m. Daddy drove the whole way. The three ladies slept a lot in the car. At the beginning of our trip the roads were a little icy, but the roads soon improved. In the car we listened to a cd of an update of a missionary in Israel, started listening to Light from Heaven (book on tape) by Jan Karon, and listened to a little of Buddy Davis' music. In Illinois it was very sunny. But right now it is colder outside than it was at home. Today each of the ladies has a book she is reading, Mommy - The Duggars: 20 and Counting by Jim Bob and Michelle Dugger, Ki- a biography on Pete Maravich, and Je- A book about the Boston Massacre. We arrived at our hotel at 4:22 EST, and had supper at Cracker Barrel. For lunch I made tuna sandwhiches in the car and we ate on the road.
