Goodbye NY!

We decided to go home differently.  Well, after paying over $50 in turnpike fees through NY and NJ, we finally made it through to VA.  

We knew we were getting closer to home seeing all the churches and crosses on the road .

The open road full of truck races .  And just weird cars in general.  We saw everything from weird colors, to cars covered in bumper stickers and even a van that was covered in grafiti!.

We made it to Tennessee  and drove through the major cities.  Of course when we got to Nashville we found this hot dog stand

     Yes, the sign really says "I Dream of Weenie".  So of course we had to buy some hot dogs.  Even though Halloween was closing in on us, while this seem scary they ended up being great!

We then ate at the ice cream shop right across the street from the hot dog stand.  It was called "The Pied Piper".  They make their own ice cream.  I can't remember what everyone got but I ate Apple Pie and it was so darn good!

So, as we approached Arkansas (only because my navigation was just 1.5 hrs off and what looked like we were staying just outside of Nashville ended up being well into Arkansas oops again this is the importance of the zoom feature on google maps).  We stayed in a comfort suites and slept in the next morning.  5 hours home was nothing really.  I told the kids it is like 3 movies and a break.

There is no place like home honey!
