Well, we've come a little further along with the plans for the road trip with CP and her cousins. It seems as though we've angered the geriatric redneck gawds and will have to make an 8 hour detour to pick up CP's cousins. Evidently there was a visit with the paternal grandparents planned for the time after the family reunion in Mississippi that we were not made aware of. It seems that when asking to take my nieces on a trip, I have to not only consult with their parents, but I must also beg the benevolence of their grandparents....pfffffft. I'll not be kissing that ring any time soon, so we'll make the detour and pick up the nieces. What's another 500 miles and a $100 hotel stay among (somewhat dysfunctional) family?
I had hoped to make it to Clarksdale, MS for a night at the Shack Up Inn, but we won't make it. The nieces get out of school on Thursday the 21st and we'll pick them up some time on Friday. We have to be passing through Bolton, MS on Saturday morning in order to make the reunion, so there's just no time for it.

Quit yer bitchin' about the drive. We did 3,350 in 8 days. And I'll bet Angel's gas trumps your little girl's efforts any day of the week.
It's not the drive. We'll do 5k in 21 days. It's the fact that since my parents aren't getting their way, I'm going 2 days mileage off of our schedule. It's going to be a fun trip.
