Packed 7 Ready To Go!

Thank you, and y'all know why this is going to be an emotional drive for me over that bridge. My sister will drive it, and I will try to remain calm since we have my nephews in the car. I don't want to get them all worried. It's possible we may continue onward and take the other bridge in destin. I know it will add an hour to the trip or I have to face it.

Either way, we are coming to Sowal and will have a funn family vacation and I get to see my wenches too. How grayt is that!

Mango, I know it will be stressfull for you. It was for me when I had to drive it after what happened. I was proud of myself for getting over it that initial time, and I have been fine every sense. I am just very, very cautious of the folks heading North. You will do fine. Have funn!!!!

Well, you will be in my neighborhood. You'll see a tall building close by that says Coca-Cola. I'm there! The New World of Coke museum just opened next door to the aquarium and it is awesome. You'll have to catch it on your next trip.

Yes! We'll be there. The nephews have been wanting to go to the Coca Coca Building, so we'll try and see if we can do both. I hear the Aquarium is one of the best.

I'm proud of you too gull. I know we'll be fine.
Afterall, I believe 2 angels will be watching us.

(P.S. I'll try not to eat all SJ's peaches on the ride ;-) )

I live in Atlanta- and I live to drive over the 331 bridge. It;s the marker that means I have finally reached paradise and my vacation instantly begins Have fun! I can't wait till the 26th when I will be in town again...

Wow, Duluth to Sowal, what is that 22+ hours?

The 331 bridge is nothing to worry about - continuous concrete roadway w/ concrete barriers on the side, not an open trestle or steel like some of the freaky midwest bridges. It just has a slight grade so that it gets tall enough in the middle for boats to go under.

She's coming from Duluth, GA. :funn:

Yes, Mango, we remember.

Best wishes for a safe trip!

Sorry, Mango. I didn't know you when the 331 accident happened. Sorry to have scared you.

The Aquarium is in the middle of Atlanta (not what is called Midtown, but still in the middle of Atlanta. You must go there sometime. Beach Jacket loved it so much the first time she saw it that she cried.

me too! the 331 bridge has always been a special piece of the road into sowal. beautiful views of the bay for as far as you can see.

Safe travels to you lucky gulls!!!!!! Just know at the end of the drive is paradise with a huge sunset waiting for you!

No kidding! Always my very favorite part of the drive- crossing that great bridge. It is still as cool today as the first time we came across it years ago, with our heads hanging out the windows like dogs and smelling the salt air...

think I better run up to Mr. Cotton's and get some peaches and sweet corn. And a beautiful view.

She's coming from Duluth, GA. :funn:

It's Duluth right? I was saying Dothan for a while. I can't keep up with the crazy gull, she moves all the time. All I know is I am getting off the plane, jumping on the Marta and I'll wind up somewhere and she'll come get me.

It took me all day to figure out the title of this thread....
the 7 was supposed to be &. :roll:

Mango--

Don't worry about it. I've from just north of Duluth 15+ times in a dozen years. I've done it alone, I've done it with teenagers in the car, I've done it while having a fight with a boy, I've done it in the middle of the night, I've done it with a bad radiator, bad brakes, yadda yadda yadda.

Never had a problem with the actual road. I don't know how you're going, but I recommend the Eufala route as opposed to the Montgomery route. Much prettier.

Have a good time in the ATL tomorrow, and a safe trip!

I wouldn't have figured it out if you hadn't posted that.

I thought she had seven kids.

(7 wives with 7 bags with 7 cats with 7 kits? How many were going to St. Ives?)

I'll be coool. ;-) Thanks for the tip. Beachmom's hubby also will be giving me directions. Apparently they know a shortcut. Maybe it's the same route.

Yeah...I deleted my yadda yadda. I'm a dork.

I've had a dorkdom card for some time now.

Be careful on I-85 south of Atlanta. It's a nightmare (and dangerous due to closed lanes, narrowed lanes, no shoulders, construction vehicles jumping out in front of you going 30 mph, and frustrated drivers with road rage) due to road construction from the Fairburn exit to Hogansville.

I do not go through Atlanta...I go east to 95 and drive down to 10
