The move to Asheville

Taking a "steak dinner" break

What do you think? All the stuff is disappearing....

Ready for loading

the garage was FULL

This is where we slept, it's all that's left!

 

Mom and Dad's room, empty

the dining room, empty

 In the morning, we had just a few things to pack in the truck (mattresses) and the food.

The last thing is on!

empty now

North Carolina, here we come!

We left about 7:20am, and arrived in Asheville at 9:30pm. We had great weather and no traffic.

the truck is ready!

Caravan, follow the yellow truck

 Funny story.... We had been on the road for a few hours and Mark called Dad. Dad didn't check the number when he answered, so he thought it was Mike calling.  Mark said, "Hey Dad. How's it goin?" Dad says, "Fine." M:"Where are you?" Dad told us he was thinking... What do you mean, 'Where am I?' Aren't I two cars in front of you??? The feeling of "I've lost them" set in for a second then he realized it's not Mike... it's Mark. 

good travelers

the scenery is changing to more mountains

Smokey Mountains, we see how they got their name

 Unpacking the truck didn't take long. The boys brought everything in the garage or to the room specified on the box.

gotta find a place for all this

Since we still had a few days without kids, I got to have special fun with these two kiddos!

Off to get a snack with Aunt Kim and their Mama

We spent all day Wednesday and Thursday getting everything in it's place. By the time Friday came, there was a few detail unpacking to do (office boxes, secretary boxes, master bedroom), but for the most part everything was set up. Now our vacation can begin!
