On our official Day 1 we drove from Gatlinburg, TN to Little Rock, AR. 600 miles and 9 hours later we ended up at a…KOA, that’s right folks we drove all that way to stay at a campground with WI-FI, a pool, and a shower. Aside from not really having any other options I must say it was a good decision for the fact that Ashlin was ecstatic about being able to go swimming at 9pm. We all survived day one except for our car stereo, or maybe it is our speakers. The men at Best Buy could not decide which it was this morning but did say, “if we fix one and that isn’t the problem then we can just fix the other” I bet they would. So, in order to not spend upwards of $700 we decided to buy an iPod docking station and that is what we are currently rocking out to. Really not a bad option and Ashlin can use the remote from the back seat to make sure she can hear her Bryan Adams Spirit soundtrack. Ahhh, life is good though, already only camping one night has made us all feel relaxed, energized and happy to be around. No longer are we worrying about the day to day routine of life but rather getting excited about falling asleep without the fly looking at the stars. I type this as we drive through Oklahoma in hopes I can post it later tonight when we drive through Amarillo. Ashlin and Derek are doing wonderful, Ashlin is currently taking what she calls a “magic nap” and Derek is trying to stop himself from talking to me while I type J. Talk soon. Peace.
