Ready, Set, GO!!!

We made it into Augusta on Saturday after a nice road trip believe it or not. Before I cover the road trip and all the craziness as of yet, I will say it was bittersweet to have our house all moved out, and saying goodbye to our sweet neighbors. Here is a picture of all our neighbors out with us one last time.

Our Great Carlsbad Neighbors

We drove 11 hours on Thursday to arrive into Houston. Funny thing is...we forgot the final 4 was in Houston too. Our hotel was smack in the middle of all the action. I didn't know this before, but every NCAA basketball coach in the country attends the final four games. While they are in town they attend conference meetings and events. So...turns out all of the coaches were staying in the same hotel as us.
We had a great friend come visit us in the hotel lobby bar. We decided we didn't need to go anywhere since our lobby alone had over 300 people. We left the lobby around 12:15 that night, and it was still packed out. I guess coaches know how to throw down.
After Houston we headed to Creola, Alabama (just outside of Mobile) to stay with friends. We had a great time at dinner and playing games that night. The next morning we started our last leg of the journey. We built in some pit stops this day, so it took a bit longer. We ate lunch in Auburn at one of my favorite places. It's tough to pick a favorite place in Auburn, but the Amsterdam's turkey wrap with sweet potato chips is down right AMAZING! We also had to visit the sad Toomer's trees. They don't look very good, but I was glad to see them at least one last time before they die. I just love Auburn (as if you didn't already know)...Just pulling into Auburn puts a smile on my face. After talking over the good 'ol days, we made our way to ATL to pick up my cute little nieces. We had a pretty full truck, but we made room to bring them to Augusta with us for a week at Gran and Pawpaws. Right now the house is packed out with Masters week in full swing. Luke and I still need to get our stuff squared away, but not until everyone leaves town this Sunday. Luke and I walked the course Tuesday, but I'll save the pics for another blog. I wanted to close this blog with some pictures of our back yard after the storms. Turns out we were hit by a tornado!! Lucky (VERY LUCKY) for us...our cars came out just fine and the only damage to the house was the garage corner.
