Day 1: Tupelo, MS

We got off to a great start this morning leaving at 8:45.  We had an estimated 6.15 hour drive that ended up taking about 9 hours with gas and food stops.   We realized we will be filling up often getting between 6-9 miles per gallon.  We had one short detour when we weren't paying attention to the GPS.  We had a 1 hour time change and managed to get to Tombigbee state park by 4:15.  We enjoyed a great chicken dinner and the boys walked down to the lake then playground right at the state park.  For a state park there is a lot to do and the restrooms are clean.  Up early tomorrow for another long day of driving.
