Heading to Tennessee

So we took 2 days to drive to Tennessee. Eric had just gotten back from Africa and so not only was he tired and his sleeps schedule was off but we knew the drive would take longer the GPS was saying. Eric didn't want to drive the rig through Atlanta so I found a route that took us west and then north through Alabama. I found a campground that was a tad past what should have been halfway. According to GPS it should have been 400 miles of our 750ish mile trip. It ended us taking us about 10 hours. It was rough. Thankfully the campground we stopped at was great. We  ended up at Deer Run RV Park in Troy Alabama. They have all pull through sites, wifi (we didn't happen to see it when we were there so we couldn't test it), over 70 cable channels, 2 stocked lakes for fishing, and even a SPA!!!! To bad we were only there for a day. The lady at the front desk was nice and helpful as well.  Eric and I both agreed that we would stay there again and even consider doing a month there.
  The next morning I made some bacon and deviled eggs for breakfast before we headed out. It was a nice change from rushing to hit the road and having Eric and I forgetting to eat which is what usually happens. It was a nice benefit to his sleep schedule being messed up. He was up nice and early which gave us a more relaxed morning. We hit the road for the last leg of the trip that took us into Tennessee . It took us about 6 hours for the last 350ish miles so it was a much faster trip. We were all happy to finally arrived. We found a spot, Eric hooked everything up and we loaded up the van for our old tradition. New location=Mexican food for dinner. Mmmmmm it was good. I will post a review later.
