Monday, May 30, 2016 ~ Leaving Pensacola at 9:09 am, about an hour later than I had hoped, but it took a little longer to pack since we've never gone on a three-plus week car trip before. Traffic wasn't as bad as I anticipated until we reached New Orleans...then very slow moving. We made it to Dallas at 10:00 pm, about two hours later than we anticipated. One advantage to that is there was very little traffic when we got here and we didn't have any problem finding the Homewood Suites.

AJ accidently found a very good seafood restaurant in Slidell, LA for lunch. We were looking for a particular pizza restaurant but came across a local restaurant that we decided to try. They were very accommodating and the food was delicious. My goal is to NOT eat at fast-food, drive-thru, restaurants. So, we had McDonald's for dinner.

We finished listening to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and will begin the Chamber of Secrets on Tuesday. (Pictures are not in chronological order)
