Purple Mountain's Majesty

I'm sitting on my hotel bed in the complete dark because Shelby was ready to go to bed and I wanted to get online and talk to my friends. So we compromised, and the room's dark except for my laptop. I'm currently in the not-so-grand state of Georgia (I keep thinking about how it was originally intended to be one giant penal colony) on our way to lovely, warm Florida. This time tomorrow, and I will be in Magic Kingdom! Woo hoo! Thankfully, the trip so far has been relatively uneventful. We got up very early this morning, and were actually almost on time leaving the house. We only stopped a few times throughout the day: once to get lunch, once to get ice cream, another time to get gas. Other than that, we drove all day and didn't land at our hotel until close to ten. It has been a looooong day, ladies and gentlemen. But fun...I got to read "The Blue Castle" all the way through, listened to tons of music, did quite a bit of singing with Shelby when it got dark and we were bored, and did a fair bit of story-planning and day-dreaming. About midway through the day, we went through some gorgeous parts of Tennessee. There were all these beautiful mountains and valleys and rivers. I loved watching it so much...listening to Josh Groban at the same time added a lot to the experience. Later, though, we went through Atlanta. We were passing these really tall, elegant sky scrapers, and all I could think was, "These have nothing on the mountains. Men have spent years and untold dollars on these buildings, and they don't even come close to what God created in an instant." It was very humbling. Anyway, tomorrow involves more driving, stopping at a MASSIVE outlet mall, and Magic Kingdom. I'm very excited! I think I should get some sleep now, but hopefully I'll be able to update at some point tomorrow. I don't know whether I'll be able to get wireless at the condo or not. With much love, Me.
