Thoughts From the Road

Now this is COOL. We are traveling down Hwy. 72 having just crossed the state line into Alabama. Brooke is driving and I have my laptop up and running. I am blogging, we are all listening to music (the group Alabama no less) on the laptop and I am currently tracking our position with my GPS which is hooked up to my map program on the laptop. (We need to turn right in 57.5 miles!). Now if I just had a wireless card so I could be on the Internet, too! Now my wife just called me a major nerd.
--------------------
We arrived in Alabama a little after noon today, tired but safe. We unpacked, grabbed a bite of lunch and talked with Dad and then I took a short nap...from 1-6pm. I felt a bit better after that.

We are thankful that Brooke's back is beginning to feel better. She missed a step coming down the steps while decorating for VBS last week and had BAD back pains all week. She finally went to the doctor this past Monday and two prescriptions and many prayers later seems to be on the mend. She was sore after being in the car for so long, but she is definitely doing better.

Brooke and Amanda are in bed, Mom is in bed also (she always goes to bed early) and Dad is asleep in front of the TV (which is also the norm). Since Mom and Dad have high speed Internet now (yea!), I'm going to finish up some camp registration stuff, update the info online and do some surfing.

Thank you to those of you taking care of our house, turtles and dogs while we are gone so that we can have a vacation! We're off to a good start.
