Thanks to those of you who are still faithfully checking in with our slow moving blog. Now, in breaking news we bring you developments from, well, two weeks ago. First, I must confess that I wrongfully slandered Uhaul. Their slogan is not "Adventures in Moving" but rather "America's Moving Adventure." Secondly, the trip went off without a hitch (pun intended). Due to my Dad's inability to relax, sit, and/or sleep when there is road to be covered, we decided to leave Wednesday night instead of Thursday morning.
We made a pretty good haul and stopped at a brand new Holiday Inn Express in Tuscaloosa. We enjoyed a tasty (free) breakfast and hit the road, stopping for lunch in Rayville, LA for lunch (for us and the Tahoe). 
There we found a little spot by the name of Big John's Steak and Seafood. We pretty much had to eat there since my dad has been referred to as "Big John" in our circles for several years. This is one of those places where a person could spend an entire week's Weight Watchers points by walking in and inhaling too deeply. We enjoyed the hot lunch buffet, complete with a fried meat from every living animal. The clientele consisted mostly of dirty construction workers or retired "ladies who lunch." The manager was very friendly, and invited us back next time we're "passing through." We give Big John's four stars. The final photo from our trip was taken at exit 48, Pearl, Mississippi, where Christy, Lisa, and I once huddled in a hallway with a couple dozen ladies on their church retreat in a tornado watch. 
Good times. Well, stay tuned for more THRILLING adventures (if you can stand anymore excitement)...
