Our trip to Birmingham for Thanksgiving was both fun and exhausting. We will never take I-75 home again.

The kids were great in the car. We Cracker Barrelled it to keep them full of rich country food. Emaline only threw up once.

Once in Alabama, they got to visit two sets of grandparents, play with dogs and cats, eat pizza, ride trains and tricycles, attempt to swim in the lake, drive a wheelchair, and get bunches of hugs and kisses.
