Road Trip with Nana

We left Minneapolis on July 21st with 3 of us and after 36 hour pit stop in Des Moines we had four in our RV.  Laura's mom, aka Nana, joined us on our trip to Nashville.  She was coming along with us to babysit Eli during our annual Beachbody Summit event that was taking place the following weekend.  

We had a couple pit stops between Des Moines and our final destination.  The first one was Hannibal, MO.  This was such a fun little town right on the Mississippi River.  We were originally only planning on staying one night, however due to some plumbing repairs that we had to do we stayed a second night.  This gave us a little time to explore the city.  It also gave me a chance to work on some plumbing skills in 100+ degree weather.  It was hot!  

From Hannibal we moved onto the Gun Creek Recreation area by Benton, IL.  Other than our first campsite being on too big of slope to level out our RV safely, this campground was fantastic.  Big, roomy campsites that were right on a lake.  Oh and it was cheap!  Definitely a great spot and if pass through southern Illinois again we will for sure make a stop here.  

After one night in Illinois we made our final drive to Nashville.  It was only a 4 hour drive roughly.  We happened to time out our arrival exactly as a thunderstorm was rolling in and knocked out all the power in the park we were staying.  Not a huge issue other than needing to run the generator on our RV for an hour or so.  It was hot and humid and our AC's needed to be cranked up!  

We made it to Nashville!  Now to prepare for our coaches to arrive and learn, sweat, and have some fun with them.
