Move to Georgia Day 7 (July 24th)

We all slept well last night and it was really difficult to wake up the kids because they were sleeping so peacefully.

We stopped at a Starbucks for Will's tea and talked to some very nice ladies who were sitting out front. It was the first time that we started feeling close to home. Only 6 more hours to Birmingham.

Not long after leaving Evansville, we crossed the river into Kentucky.

What, not "Welcome to Kentucky"? Missed it again.

Tennessee!!!! Miley Cyrus' home state!!

Ft. Campbell.

Yay!!! Alabama!

We've missed you Chick-fil-A. We were all soooooooo happy to get our first Chick-fil-A in a long time.

We stopped to see the newly painted helicopter for the Jefferson county Sheriff's Department. Will played a large part in creating the helicopter program and it was difficult for him to leave it when we moved to Washington.

Birmingham! Even though home is really Melbourne, Florida, this was our favorite place that we've lived and we felt like we were home!

We arrived at our hotel in the afternoon and it was so good to have some time to rest and relax for the first time in about a month. We were so busy getting the house ready and then having the packers and movers there, that we really hadn't relaxed much for so long. Will took the kids to the pool and I did some work on the computer.

Later that night we drove past our old house and remembered all of the good times we had there. We went to one of our favorite places to eat "China Cafe" and the nice lady who owns it saw us walk in and said "Where have y'all been?". I thought I was going to cry. It was amazing that she remembered us, especially since the kids had grown so much.

We went back to the hotel happy with our food and excited that tomorrow we will get to see our friends.
