We decided to break up the 22 hour drive to Florida into two, 11 hour days of driving with a pitstop in Chattanooga, TN. The first day of driving went really fast. I had planned several games we could play in the car, audiobooks to listen to and movies to watch. We played the license plate game, car bingo, a traveling scavenger hunt, listened to the third Harry Potter book and watched movies. We stopped for dinner at a dog friendly restaurant in Nashville, TN. Did you know there is an app called Bring Fido, which helps you find dog friendly places around the country? We landed at an awesome barbecue restaurant, where we sat outdoors and Rizzo was given a bowl of water.
We rented a dog friendly house in Chattanooga, TN. We spent the following day at the local tourist attractions. We went to Rock City, Ruby Falls and took an inclined railcar up the side of Lookout Mountain. However, despite the nice scenery my highlight was our yummy dinner where we had a delicious meal. I got to try creamy grits, which was amazing. We ended our day with ice cream at one of my all time favorite ice cream shops.
The last day of driving, didn't go quite as fast, but we made it here safely, so all is good. We ended the trip with all but 8 license plates. Rizzo was an amazing traveler. He did his usual cuddling and napping. He was terrific. We were greeted with a welcome balloon, key lime pie, a cookie cake and a few groceries all provided by our awesome realtor Lori. Trevor's car and a few boxes arrive in the morning. The rest of our stuff is still back in Iowa unpacked until the merger is official and our house sells.
