day #2- wow

First, we would both like to say that Sofia Iadipaolo is the best 3 year old traveler EVER. She has been WONDERFUL to say the least. We left at 6am this morning and got here at 4:45pm and she did great. We sang, watched two movies, made a foam necklace, and guessed cloud shapes. She did great. The car... well let's just begin with our day.

We left Maryville early and drove until we got to breakfast at McD's two hours later. Then we saw a big sign that said we could see a Giant Statue of Superman in Metropolis, IL. We just HAD to stop. It was a pretty cool town and Superman Days or something like that is June 11 to the 14. What a great little town. They have a museum and an awesome store.

Then as we were pulling into Nashville, I (Sandra) was driving and noticed that I was pretty much fighting with the car to slow down. Appearantly something malfunctioned with the Idle switch and it would not stop accelerating. SCARY!!! We got off the interstate and there was a shell station with a service garage. We got the part, got it fixed. wow. Luckily there was La Taqueria San Juan on the corner and I bought some tacos, quesadilla, and a pupusa from Lupe to get us through lunch. A picture of us eating, yes, on the trunk of our car cuz there was NO place to sit. ha ha ha.

Then we finally arrived in Kennesaw, Georgia. What a great clean town this is. Vince and Sofia took some time to go to the pool so I could download some pictures onto the computer and figure out this whole wireless internet stuff.

Then, it was finally dinner time and we found a restaurant... My cousin Vinny's (a pizzeria). The pizza was amazing. We got the All The Way, it had pepperoni, sausage, beef, green peppers, mushrooms, black olives, onions, ham, and more I'm sure. Delicious!!!

So, now we are back in our room just chilling. Vince and Sofia are watching Finding Nemo since it's on, but mostly Sofia keeps jumping on the bed and laughing. We're having a great time. Earlier when the car "broke down" I could have just walked home, but Vince quickly redirected me in the fact that Sofia was doing great and that Sandra wasn't going to start bringing the mood down. He was right and we laughed for a while. Sofia has been great and "the princesses" have been leaving gifts when she is good so she has gotten lots of cool stuff.

Yall come back and read tomorrow's, you hear?
