Marley was asleep before we even got past the loop on the way out of Nacogdoches. Mimi was not long behind her. Marley slept for about an hour and a half, and woke up right in time for us to stop in Centerville.
Emily was very excited because that meant she got to buy some jerky and her favorite candy!
After Emily got some gas in the car, it was time to go shopping!
She really wanted us to get her some beef and turkey jerky, so we did.
She also wanted some chocolate covered almonds, so we got those.
She tried to talk us into one of these lollipops, but she couldn't convince us.
She picked out many many things on this aisle, but we only let her get a few.
After we had spent way more money than people should spend at a gas station, we were back on the road with 3 more hours of driving. Surprisinly, we did not have to stop again and Marley was a great sport until the end. I literally think she ate for the entire rest of the drive: cheese, turkey jerky, wheat thins, vanilla wafers, and yogurt covered pretzels. Towards the very end when her Mimi ran out of things to entertain her with, she had to resort to Emily's favorite candy. She only got a few little bity pieces, but she loved them. Before it was even in her mouth, she was doing the "more" sign for the next piece.We got to Mimi and Pawpaw Gene's house just in time for dinner and then all crashed as soon as we could. I really hope she does as well on the way home. Maybe she will be so tired from seeing everyone that she will just pass out on the way home. That would be perfect!
