Arrival Complete

We are in the campground just outisde of
Bristol in Bluff City and it's good to know that we will be in the same place for a few days. Here's Emery getting to meet her Great Aunt Kim for the first time.

A Memo To Everyone Who Died In The Last Week

You're not doing it right. Apparently this is what thrives.


John recommends the rest stop at exit 167 on I-40 in Tennessee for perfectly airconditioned restrooms and interesting people.

Headed For The Hills

We made some decent time yesterday so we pushed passed Little Rock and stayed in Memphis. West Memphis is be exact. It was a cool campground, Tom Sawyer's RV Park, that was litterally on the banks of the Mississippi river. Here is a picture of Me, Christine and Emmy with the river in the background this morning before we pulled away. Emmy is a little sleepy because she was up until 5am.


And here is a shot 20 minutes later as we crossed over the Mississippi.


And here is the best Arkansas had to offer.

On the way to Nashville now and we should be in the Tri-Cities area tonight. Hopefully in time for dinner at Pal's.

Quick Change

Had to stop for a diaper change at Exit 141 on I-30. Decided to handle it in the parking lot.

Burnin' It Up

It always nice to tear down the camper and head back out on the highway early in the morning when it's only a cool 90 degrees and the heat of the day has yet to set in.


We didn't make it quite as far we intended yesterday and that was mostly because of a wreck that held us back an hour.


However, I really didn't care after having the sourdough cheeseburger of my dreams at Storm's in Lampasas.


Looking to make Little Rock today. Hopefully before 8pm so we can make a return trip to the Whole Hog Cafe.

It Begins

Day 1 on the move to our first destination, which will be Bristol TN/VA, to visit with the Robbins/Hall family so they can meet Emery. She's riding great so far. Hopefully the car sleep doesn't mean she'll be up all night.

We're planning on stopping just north of Waco via 281 to Lampasas and then over to 35. Looking to dine at the world famous Storm's tonight for some of the best burgers in the state!
