Stats:
550 Miles
6 States ( South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois)
Hotel - Drury Inn Suites
The travel actually went suprisingly well. We were a bit concerned. Campbell had thrown up the night before and shortly after starting the trip she said she didn't feel well. We stopped for some sprite and a light breakfast. We also had to instruct her not to read for a while. Anyone who knows Campbell, will know that this was torture for her. But, about an hour later she had color back in her cheeks and all was well.
We stopped at about 11 for lunch. It was actually only 10 though because of the time change, so we ended up having breakfast for lunch. Oh well, at least it was food. We also took a brief walk through Wal-mart and stopped for gas. We didn't stop again until we were almost to our hotel. Aaron needed a drink.
We stayed at the Drury Inn that night in Marion, Illinois that night. Let me recommend this place. First they had a pool for the kids to play in. The pool was actually a little too chilly but they enjoyed the hot tub. Applebees was right next door so we wer able to walk to dinner. And they gave the adults 3 free cocktails each. Everyone slept well that night.
We went to bed thankful that both children handled day one well and could only hope that day two would go as smoothly.
