MT08 - Day 1 (Raleigh NC to Montgomery AL)

Today kicks off the beginning of MTO8! Whoohoo!! After getting off to a slow start (due to an alarm clock malfunction) we started our journey to the bayou! The following include a few of the highlights from our journey: a game of tetris to pack the vans, hospital stories and embarrassing moments to pass the time, two stops for the bathroom before lunch, a lovely lunch at Wendy's and a camera dropped in the toilet. Setting off again after lunch we headed south to drop off the boat for later. After an hour detour, one less vehicle and another bathroom stop we were on our way again. Our caravan travelled through constant construction and multiple thunderstorms while constantly questioning, "Woah, what is the speed limit here?" For dinner we stopped at Zaxby's for some kickin' chicken and general merriment. Mixed in the fun of the day were random photos with people we met along the way including one picture with three policemen... ;) We weren't in trouble no worries! Regardless of the unavoidable setbacks, MT08 has gotten off to an FANTABULOUS start! Tonight we will check in to the hotel in SWEET HOME ALABAMA. We will be belting that tune soon enough! After we settle ourselves into the Comfort Inn we will betraining together in our reserved conference room and then off to bed - Love, The Girls' Van (+ Ryan & Todd)
