Nonetheless, hit the road bright and early...
Funny thing about us when we are driving with 6 kids and 2 dogs, we make LOTS of stops! Before noon we had stopped at Buckee's for Eric to buy a hat he has been wanting for months (Yes, he is a weirdo!)...
here at Caddo Lake...

where the boys proceeded to wrestle...
and here - in Jefferson - where my Grandaddy, Grandmommy, and others are buried. 
Is is weird to say that I was really excited that we were able to go to their graves? I really want my children to know their families (all of it), and there is a big part of my heritage and a huge part of my heart there that I pray my children come to appreciate.
We then met up with Cambrey, Joe, and the cousins and began the long journey north...
Yes, we did stop several more times!
because it seems that Ballerina has to eat every 30 minutes!

And the rest of the clan did not mind the time out of the car either! We were blessed that Joe was able to get an awesome room in Nashville for us the first night one the road, and just a short day later (and a million times of being asked how much longer until we get there) we were in DC! Yea!
Well, we are in DC now, so there will be more to come, but I just thought that I would give all an update!
Smiles!
