Are we there yet????

That question has been asked approximately 39,348 times today. Seriously!!

About 100 of them were before we even got to Dallas!!

We pulled at out exactly 7:33 this morning headed east to Raleigh, North Carolina. We pulled into our hotel at exactly 7:29 this evening!! It was a really long day, but it went as well as it possibly could have. The boys were great even though they had no concept of how far we were actually going. They saw lots of things they had never seen before - crossing of state lines, Mississippi River, random universities and playing fields/arenas, and even Graceland!!

The single thing that made the day bearable is the amazing invention that is the DVD player. We have one that has two screens and I stupidly thought it would be enough for everyone. The problem is that the kids in the very back can't hear it at all so it just causes problems to be able to see the movie but not hear it.

Thankfully, I stopped by Deneise's house yesterday afternoon and they offered their DVD player. I really didn't think we needed it, but they strongly encouraged me to take it and I am SO happy they did!! It made a HUGE difference!! So, Shane and Deneise - you totally ROCK! Thank you so much!! I owe you BIG-time!!

Anyway, we're here, we've swum, we're ready for bed!! We've got six hours to go tomorrow so we're praying for great weather and smooth sailing!!

I've got some great pics but my cord is acting up again. Maybe later!!
