Sweet Home Alabami




Arrived at the Quality Inn on Sunday nite (11/14/10) in Oak Grove, KY about 6 pm. This is right near the state line with Tennesee. Mary and Pat camped right next to hotel in a construction zone with their 3 dogs. Got a little cold at nite. We slept great. Got to Tennessee Monday morning about 8:45 and planning to drive thru TN into Alabama today.

We spent the whole day (11/15/10) in the car and it rained all day, sometimes really really hard so the drivers were really getting tired of it and we decided that Dothan, AL was a good place to stop about 6 pm. This is considered the Peanut Capital of the World. We don't eat peanuts. Why can't we ever stop at the Dog Treat Capital of the World? Its all about them.

Mary and Pat knew the area and found a LaQuinta right off the highway where dogs are welcomed, no extra charge and it was by far the nicest place we stayed so far, so nice that when Mary and Mama went in to check on rooms and rates, Dada was convinced it was too expensive and yelled at Mama that we were leaving before she could even tell him it was cheapest of the three hotels we stayed at so far cause Mama had a coupon and there was no extra charge for us!!! So after some tense moments in the car and hotel, Dada realized that he was wrong again and Mama was right again. This happens all the time.

After a nice dinner at Chili's right outside the hotel, we all cuddled into bed. Mary and Pat wanted to cuddle in the bed too but we sent them back to their motorhome outside the hotel to their three little monsters.

Tuesday morning (11/16/10) we left Dothan about 8:00 am and arrived in Florida at 8:15, so far the weather is cloudy but at least no rain. Will we get to our house tonite and sleep on our own floor? Stay tuned, happy tails, DeDe
