Our Disney World trip concluded with a final day in Downtown Disney. We shopped the shops one final time and then said goodbye to Lakinn. We had our lunch down there at the T-Rex restaurant with dinosaur robots, an ice cave looking room and meteor showers in the sky every 20 minutes. It was a very fun experience.
We went to Disney Quest one more time and had a blast at the 4 floors of video games and virtual fun. We ate at Stake N' Shake again and hit some of the Bargain Disney shops on our way back to the hotel.
The next morning we woke up and got driving to David and Tracy Peterson's house near Panama City, Florida. While we were there we went to a beach at the Air Force Base off the Gulf of Mexico that we had almost all to ourselves with the exception of maybe 5 people. The beach was beautiful. The sand was so white and the weather was perfect. We spent time boogie boarding and playing in the water. We left there to go on an alligator hunt. One had been spotted near there home, but we didn't have any luck.
When we got back to their house we played a fun game of "Marco-Polo" in their salt water pool and ate a delicious dinner of fajitas and chips. We fell asleep at their house that night and woke up the next morning, ate breakfast, got ready, talked, played the Wii, etc and got on the road at about noon. That day we drove to Atlanta, Georgia and stayed in a magnificent hotel with two rooms with wide windows, two bathrooms, and a gorgeous view from the 34th floor. The next morning we woke up, packed our things and walked down to the World of Coke Museum. As the family got closer, mom walked faster. She has a fabulous time. We were able to try coke products from over 60 different countries! Then came.. the gift shop. All the kids are fairly sure that mom spent all of our college tuition's in that shop(; We all agreed that the Coke museum was a fun experience.
Then came Tennessee. Personally, the stop I was looking forward to most. The first day we arrived we had tickets for the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman Theatre. Little Jimmy Dickens, Diamond Rio, Eric Church, Carrie Underwood among others were playing(: Alise, Mom, Connor and I stood out in an ally for a while hoping to catch a glimpse of Carrie Underwood and maybe an autograph. Unfortunately, the concert started and we decided to go enjoy it and watch her from the stage instead. The Grand Ole Opry was a great experience for all of us. We were able to walk down and go right up by the stage and take pictures. We were SO close! Carrie Underwood's version of "How Great Thou Art" gave us all chills.
The second day in Nashville, we slept in and took our time getting ready and then headed to Downtown Nashville one more time. We shopped for souvenirs, and looked at some cowboy boots. When we all decided we were done, so we went to a small ice cream shop for a treat. We drove back to the hotel and watched TV and relaxed. Evan and I went for a short swim in the pool. Our day ended with a nice dinner at the Apple Bees in the hotel. This morning we got up, and drove to Graceland to see Elvis' House in Memphis. We didn't have time to go inside but mom and dad took pictures of the outside! haha(: Now our family is off to Little Rock, Arkansas for a Justin Beiber concert. Alise has caught Beiber Fever. Alise, Mom and I will be attending tonight. Can't wait!

We are 37 days and close to 7,000 miles into this trip. The end is near. Half of us are ready to be home and half of us aren't. Either way, we'll be seeing you all soon!
