The drive was supposed to take us 12 hours if we were going straight there. Now, we obviously stopped at Mammoth Caves which added about 3 hours to our trip. Then we stopped in Nashville to pick up a bed cover for Derek's new truck. That ended up being an hour there too. When we hit Nashville we started having car problems. We decided to keep on going. Things just got worse though! The car would eventually only hit a max of 30mph, which is extremely dangerous on the interstate. Luckily it was very late at night so there were hardly any cars on the road. We did make it to Maxwell AFB in Montgomery Alabama around 2 am and got the last room available to crash in for four hours. The next day the car was just worse.....my parents caught up to us and we sent the girls ahead with them. We finally made it to O.B. after 32 hours!!!!! Needless to say, we were stressed out beyond belief (the car only went 10mph for the last couple of hours!)
Anyway, the rest of vacation was enjoyable.....the resort we stayed at was amazing and the white sand beaches were pretty great too. Enjoy the slide show!!!

Been waiting for this post! I've

Love ya, Mom
so, what did you do with your car?
oh.....since it was the weekend we had to wait until Monday to get it it to a dealership, which we did. It had something to do with getting too much fuel.....it's fixed now and runs just fine!
