We moved!
TJ and I decided to add summer sales to our resumes. So we moved out to North Carolina for the summer to sell pest control.
We drove across country and made a trip of it stopping in TJ's mission and lots of other fun places! Here's a few photos from it:

First Stop: CHEYENNE WYOMING |
 |
Iowa was super foggy the first day |
 |
Town Square in Oskaloosa - one of TJ's area. |

Windmill's being transported. They are HUGE!!! |

TJ lived in this school in Burlington as a missionary. |

The Mississippi |

Crossing the Mississippi |
 |
Pioneers |
 |
Printing Office in downtown Nauvoo |
 |
Joseph and Hyrum Smith in front of the Nauvoo Temple. |
 |
Nauvoo! |
 |
Got my first copy version of a Book of Mormon in Nauvoo! Felt close to the pioneers. |
 |
For some reason, Toyota decided to make a car without cruise control so TJ improvised with a theracane. |
 |
Carthage Jail where the Prophet Joseph Smith was killed. |
We hit a really really really BIG storm going through Missouri. Let's just say I'm glad TJ was behind the wheel. I had to close my eyes for a lot of it. Kinda a scardy cat when it comes to storms in cars....

Perfect |
 |
Grand Ole Opry! |
 |
Downtown Nashville - Too bad we weren't there at night. It would have been fun to see. Got to see my good high school friend Kelley who lives in Nashville. |
 |
Then we headed to Georgia! |
I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. We took an extra day to go visit where I grew up. I hadn't been back since I moved. We moved when I was 8 years old and going back was definitely a trip down memory lane. One thing I noticed was that everything was smaller. The hill we road our bikes down in the front yard was not as steep as I remember, the driveway was smaller, the block around the neighborhood was not as long and the creek wasn't as big.

At one point TJ said "I'm OD-ing on green." Welcome to the east coast baby! |
 |
My old house! |

The Creek |

My elementary school. I have such memories here! Loved this school!
WE MADE IT!!!!

And that folks was our trip across country! Not looking forward the to drive home...
That drive is a loooooong one! Woof! But I'm glad you were able to make it fun! Kody and I have driven out to Virginia several times and always dream of taking our time and making stops- but also just want it to be over with so we just bust it out and drive over night. No stops. Just for gas. 😳 it's crazy. Haha
ReplyDeleteOh man! I could not go for that long! We needed the breaks!
