We finally got on the road around 7:15 last night. We had only driven 33 miles before running into a traffic problem on I-85. Traffic was backed up in all lanes for 10 miles. After sitting it in for a long time we decided to take the next exit and go around the construction area. That proved to be an excellent idea. It wasn’t long before we reached Atlanta. That is still one of my favorite places. Such a beautiful nighttime skyline! We drove right thru the heart of the city and made it to the Alabama line. We took the first exit there and parked in a Walmart parking lot for the night. Both animals traveled well and the cat was very happy to get out of her cage. David and I both slept very well and feel rested this morning. It is 7:00am and we just got on the road for the day and hope to drive until about 4:00pm. We’ll be staying at a campground tonight. There is severe weather in the forecast for today but we are hoping it will be north of us as we travel. Storms, high winds and tornadoes…. That doesn’t exactly sound like fun travel weather.
