Situation Report:
1. Two Mims' Ladies
2. One hard-top convertible
3. 3,000 miles to cover
4. One of us is on anti-biotics
5. The other one may have damaged her car today
6. We have three boxes of granola bars so....
Let the roadtrip commence!
For anyone who wants to travel across country with us we will be updating daily with photos, stories, and signs of life.
The Criteria:
1. We must try barbeque in every state that we drive through. (We are taking the Southern Route. No one is shocked by this information).
2. The barbeque can not be from a chain - it must be from a legitimate "local" establishment.
3. We will periodically check for roadside attractions. Legitimate attractions do not count. We are currently hoping to see the biggest ball of twine, and/or the largest left cowboy boot. Remarkable things of that nature.
4. The minister's giant treehouse is on our route. Stand by.
5. We will take photos at every state crossing (current count: 8 states to drive through. Who else just discovered that Tennessee borders Virginia? Who knew?)
6. We will be in sweet tea country, and will rate establishments accordingly.
7. We will stay alive to the best of our ability. We have promised Dad not to drive off of cliffs.
If you have other criteria suggestions, we depart tomorrow - feel free to email/text/passenger pigeon. We would love comments and hilarity to help us make this journey *not in a plane* (scary!).
Stay tuned!!

Alas, it won't be a culturally balanced road trip unless you hit Utah (go wierd Mormons!) home of really BIG mountains, the BEST hiking trails (no bias there), and most importantly, a home with FOUR fireplaces (not exaggerating), and the Mims memorial suite.
So when can we expect you?
PS We pass inspection Monday and move in Tuesday but all is ready to go! You will not believe this house :)
