Atlanta, GA

This day kinda sucked. It started with the 4 yr old not following directions which resulted in "consequences" of losing the iPad for the drive today which actually ended up being more of a punishment for us which led to short fuses all around, especially when compounded by a missed nap for the toddler and traffic on the road.

And then we opened the door to find this. Apparently, the fridge door hadn't been clicked closed and swung open, likely repeatedly, with enough force to bend the pins that keep it in place enough for it to slip out and crash onto the floor and eject the fridge contents. Add the new planter to hold the assorted plants Wynne insists on bringing home from the supermarket that I made from the scraps left over from the spice rack falling off the dinette (we forgot to put it away) and dumping dirt everywhere, and it was a freakin' mess.

But instead of pushing us over the edge, we just had to laugh. I went right to work removing the freezer door and clamping the bent fridge pins against the metal fire ring with vice grips so I could mangle them straight with a hammer while @advodna_ann and the kids swept up the dirt and collected stray hard boiled eggs from the floor. Within 20 minutes, we had everything back together and for some strange reason, felt like the first part of the day had never happened. I guess we just needed a destroyed trailer to reminded us of what it feels like when we're all working together. #airstream #disairganization #liveriveted #myrivetedlife #lifeontheroad #realtalk

Enjoying our first campfire in a month at Sesquicentennial State Park is about 150 times better than the day started out. Plus we're across from an Airstream we haven't met yet and a few sites away from another one belonging to a nice couple from coastal NC (though I may just like them because they said we were the youngest Airstreamers they'd ever seen). #stillgettingusedto44 #airstream #airstreamwithkids #liveriveted #myrivetedlife #sesquicentennial

Big news!!!! Okay, I guess that could be misleading since the news is actually just that we stopped by the @tiger_adventure_vehicles shop this morning. We saw one of these awesome rigs on the road on the FL and when we googled them, realized they were made in South Carolina. We've read a lot about the Traveling Tortugas who have taken one of these to far away places on the globe and wanted to take a look. You know, can't hurt to look. Like, just in case... Well, turns out they're pretty awesome. Love the floorplans with an L-shaped couch that converts to a dinette and full bed plus a cab over bed that's perfect for kids. Super efficient design, well-equipped with batteries/solar/storage tanks and built on any capable truck you choose. We'll take one Malayan HT on a 4x4 crew cab F550 please. #adventuremobile #tigeradventurevehicles #overland #plustheyrealuminum #airstream #truckcamper

Okay, there's a Target. We just need paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo and milk. Let's try to stay focused here peop... Hey look at those "ADVENTURE is out there" shirts! #damnyoutarget #sisterhoodofthetravelingparents #airstream #airstreamwithkids #liveriveted #myrivetedlife #travelwithkids #familytravel #rvwithkids
