And that is what we did this year.
It turned out to be a four car caravan spread over 120 miles.
We left at 6 am, and were the last of our group to hit the road. We had our first fill up at Little Rock and made picnic lunches out of the back of the car at Forrest City.
Interstate 30 and then I-40 we're busy with truck traffic. There were a few pleasant spots but it was a stressful drive. It is pretty though! There is something about the decent into the Tennessee River Valley!
They have also had a lot of rain up here with a lot of flooding.
It was a gray and cloudy travel day, and it got colder the farther we went. At home it was in the upper 50s and in the mid-to-lower 40s by the time we got to Cookeville. The rains started on us between Memphis and Jackson (right after Stephanie took over driving).
Traffic was heavy and rains made it stressful, but we made it through Nashville, and we were in Cookeville by 7 pm.
We got food from Zaxby's, and got settled in 8 pm.
And tomorrow, off to the Smokies!
