Rainy Days and Mondays...

Well today we had both. Just about the time the movers arrived at Lou's apartment, the rain started. Lou, Laurie and Casey cleaned and packed for several hours. I on the other hand have proven to be probably the worst road trip partner ever... at one point taking a nap in her closet to try and ease my pain.
And I must apologize to our friend Ana. It turns out the trail mix is not the root of my pain but instead some sort of virus. For a while today I thought I had grown a uterus because my stomach cramps were that bad. Our friend Tad the doctor is convinced that it's a 24-48 hour bug and I should be fine by tomorrow.
That being said, Lou has turned out to be quite the trooper. Right around rush hour, we hopped into the Penske (I know, it's not a U-Haul but I'm not changing the blog name) and tackled Dallas traffic. We convinced each other that we were in no hurry and that driving in the right hand lane was actually cool.
About six hours later we pulled up at the Wingate Hotel in Monroe, Louisiana. Excellent progress I think.
I think tomorrow it's my turn behind the wheel. We are aiming for somewhere east of Atlanta but we could be easily sidetracked by roadside attractions.
I'm going to try to attach some photos but no promises...
