Bryan & I left the house in Alabaster around 7am. We had spent the night w/ Jenn & Shawn the night before & stopped at McDonald's on the way to the house & picked up breakfast. Swallowed that down really quick (both of us were so anxious that neither of us had much of an appetite) & hit the road. Puppy was not interested in her new kitty carrier AT ALL but we managed to get her in there somehow. Gracie, being the experience traveler, had no problem finding a comfy spot in the floor board & settling right in. Puppy, on the other hand, cried for a few minutes before settling down. All in all, they both were really good. We didn't have to drug either one of them.
That truck had the worst road noise I have ever experienced. I had bought a new book on Thursday while I as at the airport & Bryan had me reading it aloud to him. I had gotten The Sh*t My Dad Says. It is really funny. There was so much noise that any conversation that took place during the entire trip, required us to scream at each other!
We arrived in Davenport around 9pm. We had stopped several times along the way to gas up, grab a bite to eat, walk Gracie, etc. Bryan's friend Bruce, travels right through Chicago every week & volunteered to pick Sydney up so that we would not have to drive all the way to Chicago to get her. Bruce stays at the same hotel that Bryan & I are at so it was really convenient.
Sydney got there around 11:30 & we all hit the hay, preparing for our 1st full day in Iowa on Monday.
