Wow...we had a pretty eventful trip this time to Georgia! We left College Station about 6:00 p.m. and got to GA about 8:30 a.m. It was a LONG night but full of excitement! It all started when we got stuck on the 20 mile bridge in LA. Traffic came to a complete stop. We finally just turned the car off....along with all the semi's around us. Wes got out to see if he could see what was going on...couldn't see a thing. We were out in the pitch dark...nothing around but swamp land. We had NO idea how long we were going to be sitting there so we decided we would make it useful and take a nap. About the time we were good and comfy...traffic started moving very slowly. We had no idea how much further we had on the bridge and finally we saw blue lights. There had been a 4 car wreck on the bridge about a mile from the end of it. So about 45 min. later we were off the bridge. We were going good then! I told Wes I'm going to take a little nap...he said okay! About 25 min. later I was rudely awaken to Wes saying "I'm being pulled over"! I said "WHAT...were you speeding?" "No Leanna...I wasn't speeding!" Anyways...Wes got out and the little shrimp cop in LA basically told Wes that it is state law that the far inside lane on a 3 lane highway is strictly for passing and emergency vehicles...have a good night! WHAT!!!!!!! We couldn't believe he pulled us over for that! Anyways...Wes was TICKED!!! So, we kept going and so I said I was going to go back to sleep...okay Wes said! About 45 min. later I was rudely awaken AGAIN to Wes saying "I'm being pulled over again!!!" I said "WHAT....I can't believe it...were you speeding?" "NO LEANNA....I was NOT speeding!" So, we were waiting and next thing I knew the freaking cop knocked on my window and liked to have scard the living daylights out of me...I rolled down the window and the cop looked like he was hiding a laugh (probably because I jumped and screamed when he knocked on the window). Anyways he says..."Uh, you been drinking sir?" Wes said..."NO". He said "Well I saw that you slowed down significantly when you saw me." Wes said, "Well, the speed limit dropped to 60 from 70 so I slowed down" and the cop said, "Yeah, and it went back to 70 right after that but I'm just checking to make sure you're not drinking or about to fall asleep or anything...have a good night". We couldn't believe it! So, basically Wes got pulled over for not going back up to 70 when the speed limit changed. I told Wes...I'm not going back to sleep because I don't like to be woken up by you being pulled over!!!
So, we keep going...we're making pretty good time anyways....until we get about an hour from Tallahassee. Wes said he wasn't feeling to well and could I drive. Sure I said....so I take back over from there. We stopped at a rest area and then we hit the road. Wes said, "If I say pull over...PULL OVER! I said..."OKAY!". So we didn't have to pull over but he wanted me to stop in Tallahassee. Well, he got SICK at the gas station. We still had another hour to go. We get back on the road and he told me to stop and the next gas station. So, I did and he got SICK again!!!! Oh my was all I thought...will we EVER get there! FINALLY...we get to my sister's house and Wes goes straight to bed as I told him to do. I unload the car and go to grandma's house next door where she made me grits, eggs, and toast!!! IT WAS SOOO GOOD!!!! Wes didn't want ANYTHING and he made it well known to me that he didn't! After eating I went to sleep for about 4 hours....and I know I'll sleep GOOD tonight!
Out of all of our trips we've made during the night...we have NEVER had anything like this!!! I'm glad we made it safe and sound!
Off to the beach tomorrow for 4 days....YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
