Road trip!

One of the benefits of being in moving limbo is it gave us a chance to take a road trip to Georgia to visit Eric's family. We decided to make 4 stops along the way to visit with my sister and my three best friends from home. We left my parents on a Saturday morning and headed to Fredericksburg, VA to stay two days with my sister's family. We hung out at the pool on Saturday and made a trip to Kings Dominion on Sunday. We left Monday morning to go to Richmond, VA to visit my friend Meredith. About halfway into the trip the battery light came on and then all went haywire on the dashboard and then the car pretty much died on the side of I-95S. About an hour later we got a tow and were taken to a shop to fix the car. Luckily they had the part and we were back on the road. We made it to Richmond around 2pm so we still stuck with our plan to go to the Children's Museum of Richmond. The kids had fun hanging out and playing with London. On Tuesday morning we drove to Raleigh, NC to meet up with my friend Jessi. We went to her parents house to enjoy lunch and their pool. Jessi made me take her two exercise classes that night and then we met back up with the boys for dinner. On Wednesday we headed to Smyrna, GA to stay with my friend Stephanie. We got in around 5pm so we took the kids to the community pool and ordered pizza. We were able to hang out half the day Thursday before driving to our final destination in Georgia. Here are some pics from our road trip....
