We had such a fabulous time in Memphis! It was so great to see Arianne again! We went to a really yummy authentic Memphis BBQ place and had yummy BBQ nachos and pulled pork sandwiches. It was fabulous! We then went out and got a concrete. It was great!
We left early this morning for Stillwater and have had a great time here so far. We went to Eskimo Joe's tonight for dinner. It was great too! Sophia has had such a great time playing with cousin Josh thus far and I have had a great time holding Jacob. We're looking forward to the rest of our stay here.
Overall we have loved are trip and our so glad we did it! We've definetely had our moments (getting lost in Illinois and driving through Canada) but other than that things have been great. Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Sophia have been good travelers too. We've really seen both sides of our girl on this trip. At times she'll be totally calm and mellow and even break out into song. She recently has started singing her ABC's (or maybe it's Twinkle, Twinkle, we really can't tell). She's definetely got the tune down though! She'll start singing "A b c d a b c" and then we can't tell what she sings after that. It's pretty cute. She's also been really into counting. She counts like this, "one, two, three, sick, seven!". If you prompt her she'll also say eight, nine, and ten but for some reason four and five are never included. It's pretty cute! We'll try to get it on video and get it posted on here. When she's not calm and mellow she's usually screaming at the top of her lungs. She's developed this really annoying sound that she likes to make. It's kind of like a low, hard growl. It's pretty bad. The other day we were singing Old McDonald in the car and it was the sound the horsey made. We're pretty sure it was a possessed horse. We're trying to encourage her to use her nice words to communicate instead of that weird devil sound. We'll try and get it on video too so that you can see what we're talking about. Apparently the trip is really getting to her. Luckily we only have two more days of driving left on this trip!
Total mileage for today: About 400
Lowest gas price for today: $2.89 (we're definetely not in the Carolina's anymore!)
Biggest surprise of the day: We're on the last stop of our trip! It's gone so fast!
