Road Trip Day 1-Little Rock to Jasper, AL

Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)

We began our Thursday in the usual way-Reagan and Anderson to school with Dad, Graham over to Nonna and Pop's house and Mom to work. The kids were pretty excited this morning and new our trip was coming up soon. The van was loaded and Mom picked everyone up and we headed out of town around 3. We stopped in Olive Branch MS for a bathroom break and then pressed on to Tupelo. The kids are great car rider and we only watched 50 movies and even sang a few verses of Old MacDonald. Reagan and Anderson did disapprove of Robby's music at one time and covered their ears with their hands-so Robby was forced to wear the headphones. In Tupelo we walked around the birthplace of Elvis Presley. A car similar to his was there along with his home and church. We even decided to have a picnic supper there on the site. The kids enjoyed the fountain, swing and running in the grass. We were back in the car and made it to Jasper AL before making a mandatory stop for gas. Our hotel, the Jameson Inn, was only a few blocks away. Our room is on the first floor and Graham was more than ready to call it a night. After baths for the kids, everyone is laying quietly-well, except Anderson who is having trouble settling down now that he is able to sleep in his sleeping bag and not in a pack n play.
