The Drive

All packed!! Grandma Anita, Madeline, Snicker, Maizey and Mom!

Ready for our 1780 mile trip from Scottsdale, AZ to Noblesville, IN

We got off to a late start. We were supposed to leave for Indiana on Monday April 22 but the moving company got stuck in California delaying our departure until Tuesday. The the movers took and exceptionally long time to move our items into the truck and we did not pull out of Scottsdale until 9 pm! The first night we only drove about 75 miles then stopped at a hotel for the night.

Our second day we woke up early and got on the road by 7am. We drove a few hours at a time, stopping for potty and snack breaks. Madeline ate lots of snacks and watched cartoons on her IPad for most of the time. Madeline fell asleep when we got about 40 miles from Amarillo Texas. Then suddenly...our tire went completely flat!! We were in the middle of NOWHERE!! Luckily there was a tiny gas station right to the side of the highway and there was a mechanic there who put our spare tire on for just $11.
We then drove about 50 miles per hour for 45 minutes until we could get to a hotel in Amarillo!
We spent the night and are now on a quest for a new tire. To my surprise  my car has bigger then normal tires and 2 places so far have not had our tire size in stock!!

Snicker our cat has pretty much slept the whole way in his cage and I gave Maizey benadryl so she has been resting in the back seat. Once we get our new tire we have about 1100 miles until home. We hope this only take about 8 driving hours today and a few on Friday.
