I decided to do a little math last night and remember I am not that good at it. Well with gas prices 40 cent higher per gal since the last time we traveled, I decided I needed to re figure some of our budget. Since we have gotten a newer truck it does get good gas mileage for being a 3 row SUV, but as big as it is its going to cost a lot. So much in fact that is is going to be cheaper for us to go up the day before surgery and just stay until the next week when we take stitches out. That means 8 days in Atlanta, it also means taking all 5 kids with us. We are just going to treat it as a vacation. We had kicked this idea back and forth for a while, but seeing as its going to cost about 160.00 in gas one way so 320 round trip, we know its cheaper to just stay.

And the kids really want to meet the Dr helping Haleigh and see where we go. Now I need a good 8 night, kid friendly hotel! Or we might actually stay a little out side Atlanta at a camp ground that has cabins and a lake to swim and fish and other activity for the kids.
If gas keeps going up the way it is, her 3rd trip Haleigh and I might go our self and fly! Its scary to think that might be cheaper than driving 320 miles!!
