Trip Home




We left around noon to head back to Birmingham. What was suppose to be a 4-5 hour trip turned into to more like a 5-6 hour trip. Let me start out by saying... I really don't like stopping at exits that only have 1 or 2 gas stations. So, here we are in po-dunkville Alabama when my fuel light comes on. Lauren suggests that I go ahead and get off but since there was only 1 gas station, I decided that I would go ahead and go to the next one. Little did I know that a car had caught on fire and we wouldn't make it to the next gas station for 1 hour later. Fortunately, the weather was absolutely beautiful in po-dunkville and we were able to cut off the car and save fuel.

Let me also say, we shouldn't go on a long trip without a cooler in the car. I had one very thirsty little girl...especially after she ate the whole bag of cheese curls.

We finally got moving and stopped at the next exit (which too only had 1 gas station). We then went on to grab some lunch (at 3:00) at McDonalds and head on to Birmingham.

LeLe had given her daddy a call earlier in the morning and she told him that she was "worry for him". So, he decided to cut his meeting short and head back home to see his little angel.

Gibson did much better last night sleeping. He stayed the entire time in his nap nanny at night in my room. Let me just say, I don't know how folks co-sleep as I didn't sleep at all with a little man snoring next to me. He did great on the trip back home.
