Live Blogging From The Car
Update #4: 9:46pm 1.2 Naps 0 Deer 2 Potty Breaks
We made it here safe and sound! And it only took 6 hrs. and 24 min. We thought it would have taken much longer, but we made great time.
Here are the cow and elephant as promised. Like I said, they are kind of scary, but the kid likes them, so we slowly drove by.
If you’ve been following along, thanks for your time. I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!

Just texted with my cousin Ben who is drinking a beer for me. He is awesome. Thanks Ben! (Pinky says “hi.”)
Right now, we are on the back roads of Kentucky, inching closer and closer to our Tennessee destination. We saw a huge dinosaur along the side of the road, apparently advertising some sort of prehistoric museum. I wasn’t quick enough with the camera, so I have nothing to show for it. You will just have to believe me. I heard though, that there is a huge pink elephant and giant cow coming up soon. This sounds like the stuff that nightmares dreams are made of.

We are still here, truckin’ along. To keep things entertaining, I let Pinky borrow my camera to take a few shots. The two photos on the right are the world through Pinky’s eyes. Interesting. Not too shabby in the photography department either. You can also see me in the mirror and I think that it may be my first appearance on this blog. (It’s hard to work yourself into the photos when you are behind the camera.)
In case you were wondering, this is the setup of all the gadgets in the car right now. Computer, power cord, cell phone, usb cables, ipod, tom tom, car power charger thingy (for electrical plugs), camera, battery charger, etc.

Pinky took the opportunity to catch up on her zzz’s. She doesn’t look very comfortable in the photo, but when she woke up, she said she felt much better. She hasn’t stopped talking since.
While she was sleeping, Chris and I noticed a U-Haul box trailer with the word “Aerodynamic” on the back of it. I noted that it was probably the biggest oxymoron I’d ever heard of and Chris stated it was the equivalent of driving a barn down the road.
We also spied the water tower for the city of Florence in KY. Does it need an explanation?
We are currently stuck in traffic outside of Louisville, KY. I see cherries and berries…

We are on our way to Tennessee (right at this moment) and I thought it might be neat to try blogging from the road, while capturing some of the sights along the way. I have my phone connected to my computer, using it as my modem, and my camera close by to take shots from the car.
This morning I told Chris that I wanted to try and blog the drive down and these may or may not have been the looks that he gave me. Ok, Grizzly Adams. *Wink*
We are still on the first leg of our trip, so stay tuned to see where we are, provided I get cell phone service! I’ll be back in a little bit.
