Driving to Memphis

We are here in Memphis, Tennesee and arrived yesterday. We are really enjoying our trip so far. Yesterday was a very long day. We left our house in Racine at about 5:15 in the morning and with taking only 4 stops, we arrived at our hotel at about 5:30 last night. It's a very nice Residence Inn by Marriot. We were pleasantly surprised with our room. We have 2 baths, 2 bedrooms, a living area, and a kitchen. We also were happy to hear that dinner is included in our room. We had a small dinner last night of hotel tacos. Both kids enjoyed those and were really happy to not get back into the car! The kids were awesome in the car, sleeping, playing, singing, and just being great little travelers. We returned to our room for baths, a little TV, and then off to bed. Emma woke us up this morning with, "I have pink eyes today, Daddy!" Sure enough, Emma has pink eye. It's a good thing that I thought to pack our pink eye medication!!! We put the drops in, waited a few hours, and then headed off for the museum. It was a tough decision, but seeing that her eyes weren't goey and she wasn't rubbing them, we choose to take the risk and go out for the morning. We had a great time! There were some pretty neat things for the kids to try out and even Lucas got to take his turn at driving a few things. We retrned to our hotel for lunch and then it's been nap time. Tim was able to find room in the van for his golf clubs, so he took off for the afternoon and I've been reading and watching a little TV. All in all, we're having a great time and really getting a chance to spend time together and rest!
