We started our Spring Break trip today right after William's soccer game (by the way, he scored a goal!).
Our plan was to have the car all packed up and leave straight from the soccer fields. And we had the car all packed up and were getting ready to go... until Zack noticed that one of our rear tires was flat. TOTALLY flat.
He quickly removed the tire and threw it in the back of the jeep, we ran by the tire place and dropped it off, went to the game, went back for the repaired tire, and Zack had it on and ready to go in no time. And hey, did you know that a piece of wood can puncture a tire? I didn't until today.
So we hit the road around 12:15 and drove. And drove. And drove. We soon made it to Tennessee. We drove through Nashville (didn't stop because we got caught in a detour nightmare that cost us about 45 minutes), entered Kentucky, stopped for dinner in Paducah, and ended up in Mount Vernon, IL for the night.
We'll hopefully get a good night's sleep, and then drive about 200 more miles tomorrow to see our best friends from college and their kids. Then Monday we'll head on up to Chicago.
I can't upload pictures while on the road, but we'll have plenty to share when we're back.
