Summer Vacation ~ Day 34

Wednesday June 25

My alarm went off at 5:45. Given a quiet house, within 35 minutes, I had everything done except for gathering six things from upstairs and having the children collect their last minute items. And then I sat down! I. Needed. Breakfast! 

We set out for the 600 mile trip to Tennessee around 9 AM (an hour later than planned). A quiet ride, as BK slept & LM did activities and listened to PlayAways.  Jim and I were glad to catch up on conversation that has been missing since school was out. 

Lunch at Culver's. A stop at the Kentucky welcome center.  

A late afternoon stop at the last Chick-fil-A on the route where I splurged on a frosted lemonade. The heat was unbearable! Everyone else got supper at Kroger before the tunnel. I placed a Walmart order to be delivered tomorrow morning at our AirBNB.

LM asked, "Are we here yet?"

I replied, "Well, dad hasn't stopped, so we're not there yet." 

Pause. 

LM: "Dad, can you please stop?" :) 

 

We arrived just after 9. The children always enjoy exploring a new Airbnb, and finding where the bedrooms are.  I told Jim it’s the most unique house floor plan I have ever seen and he said, "Unique is being very diplomatic." 

But it suits our needs. It's obviously (& we knew it from the listing) someone's home, unlike the other two we have stayed in so far here in my hometown, which are obviously full-time rental properties.  

We chose it because it's near Mom's assisted living, but alas, she is not there. We will be visiting her at the rehab hospital.
