Made it to near Birmingham AL....closest hotel we could find...last Tuesday night....that had enough rooms for my five, my sisters three, and my parents.
Supposed to be a 9.5 hour drive, we were in the car for 24 hours and 17 minutes, door to door, leaving 5 am Friday and getting here at 417 am saturday, local time.
Slept most of saturday in 5 minute spurts but with 3 boys under 5, and a wife dealing with Chemo, I am " on duty"
We have rooms through wednesday....hopefully there isn't too much flooding/traffic when we head back. Not looking forward to leaving nice, clean (ish) hotel with room cleaning and returning home to a town that will have power out for the next week or so....there were tornados within a mile of my house. ..but we still have a house, so I can't complain at all!
