Day 3

Our hotel was much nicer and pleasant.  It seems everyone woke up refreshed and ready to see Niagara Falls!

Day 2 travel

Our second day of travel began with rainy conditions and a Lipscomb University campus tour.  Nashville has so many delights, but we weren't able to stay and play.  Two more states checked off today Kentucky and Ohio.  Our stop for the evening was in Independence, Ohio just outside Cleveland. 

Day 2

Our family toured Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee.

Destination Maine

Early Thursday, May 16, 2013 we said goodbye to Houston in order to begin our annual trip to Maine.  First stop Nashville, TN.  It was a smooth 13 hour drive.  Something new this year, three drivers! The baby truck with Hunter & I.  Alex, Sammy & Elliot in the van.  Our caravan witnessed Texas trees, green Arkansas rolling hills and finally Tennessee majestic forests.  Safely arriving in Nashville around 9:00pm.
