Texarkana, TX to Symphony's house

We got up earlier than usual this morning since we have almost 600 miles to drive today. We all are still tired from yesterday's long slooooow drive. We decided to have a quick breakfast at the La Quinta. We checked out of the motel at 7:30 - our room cost $48.73. We stopped at the Raceway near the motel and got gas ($2.139 a gallon) before getting on to I-30. 

We continued north on I-30 to Little Rock where we connected with I-40 East. The roads were clear (no snow) and traffic was moving along nicely - such a nice change from yesterday!

We stopped at a Flying J in West Memphis (which is in Arkansas) at 12:30 to get gas ($2.259 a gal) and decided to have lunch there. We fed Tinker his lunch and then went inside to have ours. Mike and I ordered the chicken tenders with fries. We were back on the road by 1:30. Shortly after leaving the Flying J, we got onto I-55 and crossed into Tennessee.



We took I-55 south of Memphis to I-240 and drove east to TN-385 south down to US-72. We crossed into Mississippi. We stopped in Burnsville, MS to buy gas ($2.179 a gal) before crossing into Alabama and on through Huntsville.



I took this photo of Mike smiling while he's driving - we're only about an hour away from
Symphony's house.



From Huntsville we drove down to Scottsboro to AL-35 to Fort Payne. From Fort Payne we drove the 14 miles to Symphony's house and arrived there at 6:30.

Tinker was happy to see Chrissy (Symphony's Bichon) and we met her new dog Buddy. Buddy is a mix and Symphony was trying to find a home for him and decided to keep him herself.

We'll visit with Symphony for a few days before heading home.
