This is where we stopped for the night. The weather started to turn very rainy just as the sun went down and driving became a bit more stressful in the crazy traffic of Knoxville on a Friday night. I wonder sometimes if people just forget everything they were taught once they get their driver’s license. It sure seems that way – no turn signals, fast lane changes, crossing 2 or 3 lanes of traffice at a time at high speeds, etc.

We stay in Knoxville often so we pulled into our favorite hotel, walked across the street for Chinese food, came back to the room and called home. I really miss Cindy on these trips. But I have Carter with me. Last night was a tough night for the little guy – he was up most of the night, walking around the bed. I’m going to have to run him hard today somewhere and get this energy out of his so he’ll sleep!

We’re off to Fort Smith, AR – that’s our stopping point for the night…11 hours down the road.
