My best friend had to move her two kids, all she had, and her car back to Georgia this past week. Noah and I made the journey with her. I must say that drving 35+ hours with 3 babies (ages 3 years, 11 months, and 1.5 months) was something that we will always remember. I spaced bringing a "real" camera, so most of my pictures are Instagram/iPhone pics. Would I ever do this trip again? No sir. Did I love it? Meh. Am I glad I was with my best friend and three babies I cherish dearly? Yes, very, very glad. I am grateful for Jessi and for our lifetime friendship!

| Noah LOVES big dogs. |

| We staged Buzz and Woody in the back window waving at the cars behind us the whole trip. |
 |
| He does not like bowls, plates, or anything that contains food. He just wants the food. |
One the third day of the drive, we planned on a "relax" day. We only drove 5 hours from St. Louis to Nashville. As a birthday present to myself, I booked the night at this AMAZING hotel. It's called Union Station. It used to be an old train station. I felt like a celebrity. The staff called me by name-Mrs. Knight-and there were even robes. It was an upgrade from the other hotels we stayed in, to say the least.

Once we got to Georgia and found Jessi a house, she drove us down to Daytona Beach to see my dad. I love the smile my dad gets when he sees Noah! I wish I could go down there more often.

| This Jeep was the center of attention for the boys. |
What's a trip to Daytona without the boat/beach time?
 |
| Noah loves the water!! |
 |
| Noah got his first sunburn this trip. It blistered and all.
I still feel awful. |
My grandpa John volunteered to drive us the two hours to Jacksonville for our plane ride home.
 |
| Noah was fascinated with the workers gassing up the planes. |
Little N man isn't feeling too well being home. I hope he didn't catch some gross virus on the planes. (Yes, planes. We had two layovers.) His sleep schedule is a bit off still, too. Hopefully by the end of the week we will both be recovered from this fun but long trip.
