Home Again, Home Again

Ten states in 10 days. I just got back from a road trip from IL to Fl with three friends. We took turns driving in 2 hour shifts and stopped for many potty breaks and sightseeing. In Memphis, went by Graceland, the National Civil Rights Museum and Sun Studios. Heard the blues on Beale St. Saw antebellum mansions and a Confederate Cemetery in MS. Antebellum mansions and a French fort in Mobile. Animal rescue places, aquarium, beaches, waterfront bars, and shuffleboard in FL. Indian mounds and more mansions in Macon,GA. Peaches, pecans and watermelon. Then five states in 14 hours home, due to a family emergency. Went by the exit to Rossville IN where you know who lives. I will remember this trip forever.

Too bad you missed the highlight of the trip--seeing me!! Anyway, I'm jealous of your journey to the south.

I envy you a lot! A road trip with girl friends is something that I always wanted to do!!

We only missed one day. Had planned to stop at Mammoth Caves. One woman's father in law in CT took a turn for the worse. We got back late on Saturday night and she and her husband were going to drive to CT leaving about 3 in the morning. Fifteen hours of driving after we just did fourteen hours.

Were there men on that trip? My husband would say 'now, if there is anywhere you see that you want to stop, just say so' but he didn't really mean it, and we wouldn't stop. He claims it's because I made him stop in the middle of nowhere in the OK panhandle to move a turtle off the highway; that did it for him.

No men on this trip until we got to FL and visited one father. Two women are used to long distance fast no stop travel with husbands. We didn't do that. Saw pretty much what anyone wanted to see.

Did not see the ducks. Did see the hotel from Beale St. Had ribs at Pig on Beale. Yum. Went to A. Schwabe for souvenirs. Beale is unbelievable. Love it.
