Ok...so we planned to get up around 6 when the girls usually rise. Unfortunately their body clocks had a different idea. Sophia tugged on my sleeve at around 3:30 am and asked to watch a movie on her dvd player. She was a tad loud and this woke up Piper who instead of being groggy was in mid-day form and started jumping up and down in her crib. Em and I looked at one another and decided to tackle the 9 hour trip to Jasper to see Uncle Paul and Aunt Lauren right then and there. 4 am brought quiet streets in Florida. Em and I both agreed that God may just indeed be sparing us by waking up the girls - so we were glad to get going. The girls slept well for the first part and we made "good time".

The newly aquired Tom Tom from Grammy and Papa Cows came in handy when we needed a break around 1 or so - we looked up Shopping Centers and found Southlake Mall in Morrow Georgia. This was a great place to stop and get out and they also had a GREAT carousel that Sophia got to ride on - this made her VERY happy. So after some Chinese food and a 2 dollar carousel ride - we hopped back in the car and headed to Picken's County Georgia.
