It all started because we had to go back to Georgia to get the rest of our things. So Wayne, cousin Andrea, the girls and I took the Bronco and trailer and left on Monday. On our way I had the bright idea to go to an antique store in Bristol, Tenn/Virginia. Then Andy called to tell Wayne that he had a job for him at Diversified Foods and that he needed to be at an interview on Thursday. We were thrilled! I thought it would still be no big deal to go to Bristol and head to Cumming on Tuesday and then drive back to Slidell on Wednesday. (We should have turned around, I don't know what we were thinking because my plans never work out the way I plan them!!!) When we got to Bristol we had a head light that went out. But it wasn't as easy as changing the bulb. The bulb had burned all of the plastic in the entire rectangular piece. So we found an auto store with the part but we went to two mechanic shops and they couldn't figure out how to get the old one off and put the new one in. So we went to a Ford dealership where they said they could fix it but it would require taking the entire front end off and they would need at least two hours. So we had to stay in Bristol overnight so they could fix it first thing in the morning. ( I was not about to take the chance of driving through the mountains at night in the rain with one head light!!!) We made the best of it and the kids love staying in hotels! So we had it fixed first thing Wednesday morning and finally got back on the road to Georgia at 11am. When we got to Cumming we threw what we could of our stuff in the trailer and hit the road for Slidell at 8pm. We arrived home at 6am on Thursday! So we went on a 68 hour trip and spent over 42 hours of it driving!!! By the way.... Wayne made it to the interview on time and got the job! I got a beautiful piece of furniture and we have a wonderful $300+ head light on the Bronco!!!
