Texas, here we come... with an unplanned stop

Chuck E Cheese was not the unplanned stop, but the necessary place to eat after dragging the kids car shopping all morning. The reason for car shopping- our 2002 Ford Escape had a blown transmission about 200 miles from home on our way to Texas. So, Buford, Georgia, was our unplanned stop and we made the best of 2 nights there! 
Chuck E Cheese has the best rides & games!
Welcome to our family- a 2011 Volkswagen Routan
Thanks to the great accommodations at the Courtyard Marriott (and thanks to Grandma Teresa Pope for the family discount) and to the wonderful staff at ReDooz for helping me keep the two kids busy while Nakia worked on getting our rental car. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a great consignment store!
A luggage cart is a free, fun ride!
Eleanor was ready to show off the new ride and hit the road
She mainly loves the DVD player with wireless headphones, which was nice for Mommy & Daddy because we could listen to our own music at the same time!
We were glad to get to Alabama finally, although we didn't get to stop at our friends, Laura & David Laurencio's house since we were delayed a day, but don't worry- we stopped on the way back!
Hello, Mississippi! An overnight stay was much-needed in Jackson
And they had a pool! 
What a big jump! Thanks to Daddy for the support and guidance.
The mighty Mississippi River, getting closer...
Sweetness- is there anything better than sibling love?
We made it to Texas! Boy, was it hot!
