Fultondale, AL

We're about two thirds of the way to Gulf Shores.  We drove 8 hours today so we'll only have to drive four tomorrow.  We had a hard time finding a hotel room and finally learned the Talledega Race track is close to here and some big race is going on.  We're definitely in the south.  My oldest son and his family passed us on the road in Tennessee, daughter and her family went the Mississippi way, and son from Cincinnati and his family are already in Pensacola visiting with her family.  Our east coast kids will be flying in tomorrow.  So excited!!!I'll have lots of pictures starting tomorrow.
