We made it to Indiana after a 14 hour drive! The last part of the drive was through near white-out conditions from heavy snow. It was light, fluffy snow that didn&#8217;t stick very well to the roads, but the wind was blowing so hard and the snow was so heavy it was hard to make out where the road was! This was only as we got close to La Porte, so most of the drive was fine &#8212; tons of traffic on the roads though. We left Birmingham in cool, but tolerable mid 50&#8217;s and arrived in La Porte with snow and 25 degree temp. Here are some pictures from our trip.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/family\/springiris.jpg\" \/><br \/>Kristine snapped this picture of our irises blooming right as we were pulling out of the driveway.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/family\/nashvillesnow.jpg\" \/><br \/>Here we made it to Nashville and were surprised by a few bursts of snow just three hours north of Birmingham!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/family\/3amsnow.jpg\" \/><br \/>When we finally made it to La Porte, IN at 3AM, this is what the streets looked like.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/family\/eastersnow1.jpg\" \/><br \/>This is what it looked like this morning when we woke up.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, let me give a shout out to my beautiful wife since today is her birthday &#8230; Happy Birthday, Kristine! \ud83d\ude42 Hi everyone &#8230; here is a quick post with an update.
