Hey Y'all
We're here! Finally.
It's funny, the most eventful part of the trip happened in the last 2 minutes. We got run off the road by a furniture truck speeding down the street and we got into our only little tiff as soon as we pulled into the driveway.
Longview was ok. We were really ready to be out of Texas. It was in Birmingham (at the worst of the hotels - a Days Inn) that ChristY realized she left her razor and a few other toiletries in the Longview hotel. Texas is a bad state.
So Birmingham was OK. As previously stated, the hotel was really stinky and I mean that both literally and figuratively. We got to use the room spray and candles to try and counteract the smell in the room. We had a great dinner at a really good restaurant in this cool part of town called Five Points South. That was really the best part of Birmingham. There was no Starbucks near the hotel which made for an interesting morning. That and the hotel clerk looked at us like we had three heads when we asked to be directed towards the part of town with something to do with Martin Luthor King. Plus he got kind of snippy with Christy about it. We finally found the Civil Rights building thanks to a map we procured from the snippy desk clerk. That and the church that got bombed. It was interesting and we received quite the background from a local who I assume was expecting a tip.
So now we're in lovely Summerville, SC. I really like it here and could see myself living here for sure but I'm still not 100% where I'll end up.
Christy is off to a wedding tomorrow and I'm thrilled that she gets to see some friends that she's known for quite a long time. She had no idea she'd even be able to be at this wedding but it's awesome that she'll get to go. My parents leave on Monday and after that we have a week and a half to see all we can see (including a trip to Virginia) before Christy heads back to the left coast to search for a job. It's too bad she couldn't stay longer to play but I totally understand. I'm just upset because that means I'll have to start looking for a job too.
Anyway thanks to everyone for all your prayers. We really had an uneventful drive which was truly amazing. It's hard to believe that on Monday we were on one end of the map and as of today we were on completely the opposite end.
Our love to everyone and we look forward to hearing from you all. Or should I say y'all?
Oh and the phone number here is 843-873-5350. Call anytime but remember you have to add 3 hours to the California time.
