Since James couldn't wait til Saturday morning to leave, the crew took off after cleaning up the dinner plates and were southbound at 6:30 pm. The kids watched Happy Feet after clearing Milwaukee which took them to the south side of Chicago. We travelled to just short of Effingham, IL which is about an hour south of Champagne. We found a hotel room at midnight, a Ramada, for only $50 and crashed for the evening.
At 7 am we headed back out and after a quick stop through the McDonald's drive thru proceeded town I-55 until we hit Paducah where we took a quick break at the Kentucky line. Our next stop was at the Tennessee border and then it was straight through to Marietta, Georgia where we had dinner at Applebee's for Jen's birthday and then hit the pool before hitting the hay.
At 7 am Sunday morning, we left Atlanta behind us and arrived at Gpa's and Gma's at 1:30 in the afternoon, making the jaunt from North of Atlanta to Inverness in 6.5 hours. Dad was right, if you're not going 80 mph, you're getting passed. Anyhow, we arrived all safe and sound and were in the pool by 2:15.
