We started the long trip home exactly at 2:00 am and drove until 7:00 am when we stopped at a Waffle House for breakfast, filled our bellies and the van with gas (gas from the gas station right next door not gas from our bellies).
Phil drove for the next 9 hours stopping once more for gas and one emergency bathroom stop which happened just as we reached Tremont, IL just a half hour from home. Not to bad when traveling with 3 little girls. Anna made sandwiches and passed out those with oranges and chips while we were driving for lunch. We pulled in exactly at 4:00 pm, it was sunny and still 40 degrees. Emma was so excited to see us. She was given her Christmas bone and for the next hour spent time hiding it, then picking it back up walking around with it in her mouth while whining then hiding it somewhere else. She is such a funny dog.
I ran out to feed the horses then just unloaded, did a little laundry, unpacked and will be heading for bed shortly. Glad to be home but already missing the group in Gulf Shores. Rachel and David made it down to Gulf Shores today so we probably passed them on the trip home.
