Road Trip

Our road trip to Memphis started off great last Friday! The car was packed to the hilt with people, dogs and stuff...lots of stuff! Ha! We were so excited to be traveling to Memphis to visit my family! I was a little nervous about how Ryan would do on the 7 hour road trip but he proved to be a good traveler! The only bump in the road came just past Jackson about 50 miles from our destination. Ryan decided to scream the entire last 50 miles. Many deep breaths and some prayer later we finally arrived at my parents house.
Ryan was snug as a bug in his car seat! We hung out in the back seat as our driver (Matt) drove the 500 miles south. I told him just call me Miss Daisy the rest of the day, ha! At first I wasn't looking forward to sitting in the back seat butI ended up loving it.

We stopped at Sonic not once but TWICE on Friday, HA! We stopped the first time about 2 1/2 hours into the trip and we gased up, took dogs potty, we went potty, fed Ryan and ate lunch! They asked us if we wanted the free drink upgrade to a route 44 and I said sure not thinking about how big it actually is. My diet coke was so big I think I only drank about 1/4 of it, HA!

We stopped again at another Sonic just past Nashville a few hours later to feed Ryan! We of course had to order something so we each got slushes and the best thing was it was happy hour!

This is where Annabelle spent most of the drive! We put the middle seat down in the back and placed the dog carrier, with the door off, where the middle seat was. The dogs could lay in the carrier or my lap. Of course Gracie chose my lap, her favorite place.

The girls enjoying the ride snoozing between Ryan and I. Do you see my feet propped up? I was pretty comfy back there! Ha!

Oh, I love this last picture! Y'all look snug as a bug in the backseat- how sweet! Glad Ryan made it almost all the way without a fuss- whew!
