We got on the road at 6:20am and drove for awhile and then stopped at a Dunkin for coffee and donut. We drove for about four hours and then stopped at a Love's travel place. I walked the dogs while Ted waited in line for gas. It took awhile due to all the traffic and the LONG line to the ladies room...four stalls only! Ted got us a snack while he waited for me.
We have learned that each slowdown or hiccup in travel are often ways that God protects you from being in the middle of danger. We found ourselves on a detour off I-75 due to an accident which took us through the Georgia countryside. It was a pretty drive through cotton fields!
Drove by a section of forestry...
and then through a heavy downpour! We came out of that to another slow-down...caused by the ramp backed up by those going to Bucces! We kept driving.
The skies cleared and the sun came out by the time we hit Atlanta.
The Blue Ridge Mountains...such a gorgeous view.
Getting close to Chattanooga...
the sun set and then raindrops started as we pulled in close to Knoxville. We got to Teddy's about 6:40pm...thankful again for safety over the miles! Today is recoup day...catching up on sleep, the blog, work emails, meet up with a contact...and then...Christmas with our grown-up kids!
