Day 3!

Well, our 3rd and final travel day has gotten off to an interesting start. Loading the car was much faster today, and would have been even faster still if it weren't for the chatty upstairs neighbors at the hotel. They were out enjoying the view of the parking lot and train tracks with a cigarette, and we're fascinated with the pets! Topics ranged from the ages of the animals, to the costs and disadvantages of boarding pets (you know Camp Bow-Wow charges $36 a day, and you don't even know what they're eating!), to whether or not hotels provide guests with bags to clean up pet droppings! Stimulating conversation at 8:00 am.
We made it out of the hotel by 8:30, which is our earliest start yet. We were off into the rainy Memphis rush hour!
We made a quick stop (really just a turn-around at the driveway) by Graceland, with Margo's encouragement (and pretty much constant reminders!). Maybe someday I'll go back and actually go inside!
Now we are cruising down I-40 through Arkansas with less than 500 miles to go! Hopefully we will drive out of this rain soon. Art says the weather in TX is nice. Here's hoping!
