(Continuing on with pictures from our vacation after taking a break from posts this week!)
Day 7 (Thursday)
Today we had to pack up and head back to Texas. The man at the cabin recommended a scenic drive for us before we left so we went there and to a visitors center. We saw a pretty waterfall and took some pictures. I remembered last night how we took a family picture in our Colorado shirts when we went there on vacation, and I wanted to do the same in our new Tennessee shirts. 
We drove until we got to the Financial Peace Plaza.
When we got there Dave Ramsey was recording a show. We looked at the store and watched the show through the window. A lady came up and asked us if we'd just arrived. We told her we were passing through on our way home from vacation. She told us the plan of the show for the next 30 minutes and said at the break we could talk to Dave. We watched a couple scream "We're debt free" and then he came out. Apparently he'd already talked to the others. He talked with the couple and then shook our hands and took a picture with us. Then he gave us his autograph. I got him to sign the coupon book I use for our cash following his cash envelope system. It was very fun and exciting to meet him. We weren't really expecting that!
Then we drove. And drove some more to stay the night in Little Rock.
Oh and on the way before we got to Memphis, TN we were stopped in the left lane as the right lane was closed ahead. A truck pulled over right in front of us to cut into traffic on the left lane before traffic started moving. We thought he was going to run into us with the back of his trailer. Thankfully he did not.
Day 8 (Friday)We did not have a restful night of sleep which was disappointing. We'd used our points for a "free night" so I guess that is a good thing that we weren't paying for it! ha! We were at a La Quinta and heard loud banging that woke us up at about 3:45 and again after 4:00. It went on for some time and was shaking the pictures on the walls in our room. We called the front desk and they couldn't get an answer in that room or do anything about it. It eventually stopped. It was hard to rest after that though.
We got up and got Krispy Kreme before heading on our way. We were so glad to see the Texas state line! We got out at the Texas welcome center and took pictures with the Texas shape before driving on towards home.
We got home and unloaded so I could start on the laundry on Saturday.
I'm so thankful for our vacation and the memories we made.
Have a day of blessings!

That was so awesome that you meet Dave Ramsey.....I think that when we retire in a few years that we should definitely look into one of his plans because our income will change dramatically. Sorry about the bad night at the hotel but the Krispy Kremes sound good! Sounds like you had a nice trip with wonderful memories.
