Trip to Oklahoma

Today we headed out to Oklahoma, My steps-sister, Heather, is getting married on Sunday. I am going to be a bridesmaid. Why is this trip so wonderful? Not only do I get to be a bridesmaid for Heather, but I get to see her any my sisters, and my dad, and step mom, and my nieces and nephews that I have not see in forever. We miss them sooooo much.
The trip is going to take us 14 hours. We have to drive through Birmingham, AL and Memphis, TN. We also get to go through Little Rock, AR. We are leaving at night, so we can make better time. I was a little nervous driving that far with the girls and just myself. What a trip.
When we pulled out, no more than 15 minutes later on the freeway, Cymmone lost one of her teeth. I figure she could have at least waited for me to get there, or done it before we left. It was rather funny. So I had to put it in my laptop bag in a piece of paper.
This was our first trip in our new car, and I wish that we did not have bucket seats in the back for the girls. It made it hard for them to sleep. They were uncomfortable with thier legs, but I am sure as they get older, it won't really matter.

Racing is a big thing out here in the south. Nascar is huge. We happen to drive past Talledega
Raceway, ENORMOUS!! I was not able to get a pic of it, just a pic of the flags. I almost want to go back out there for the Sprint Cup end of April. I thought the Atlanta MotorSpeedway was huge! All in all, the trip out there was pretty smooth.

Memphis was not as big as I thought it would be, but the ride at night across the great Mississippi River, AHHmazing.
