Two days on the road

We left Black Mountain at 11 am on Wed. July 22, earlier than planned.


 

Rafting on the Pigeon River - NC while we slowly drive the I-40 detour.


Tai driving past the Sun Sphere Knoxville TN




Nasheville TN

Sleep in Nashville TN
Breakfast


The highways in Tennessee were embraced by trees in many miles!

Memphis TN


Near the St. Jude’s Hospital with Danny Thomas Blvd…and continuing to Little Rock


The mighty Mississippi



Ok, the pictures are worth a thousand words. Right?

We started off from Nashville on Thursday and crossed all of Arkansas!

Our first and huge solar farm!

My fettuccine Alfredo 

We’re enjoying Door Dash!

And watching Independence Day while I did my nebulizing treatment. I’m fine sitting in the truck, but am a whimpy noodle getting out and walking halls of motels.  Especially in 92 degrees. And Tai has done all the driving!


I am so glad we had the step stool because I couldn’t get in or out of the truck since the first step was higher than my knees!

Thanks for coming along with us!  


I felt so close to all who commented yesterday and I can’t thank you enough.

  5. Oh, they didn't take the rocking chair?
    Tennessee is a beautiful state, isn't it? And Nashville is an extremely happening place. Too bad you didn't get a chance to visit the Parthenon Museum there. Have you ever seen it? It's sort of mind-blowing. I've never been to Memphis but would love to go.
    This is such a special time for you and your son. The experience is one you'd never have without this trip, this move.

  6. Glad to read today's update. Glad everything has gone relatively smooth for you both. l like the final photo of your apartment, it was time to move on. What an incredible big move, you should be very proud because there are lots of people who would never do it. Safe travels!

    1. On second thought Oklahoma? I need to look at a map.

  9. I'm from Memphis and have family there, so I'd have taken that exit!
    The terrain will soon start to change, my friend!

    Hugs!

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
