Today we drove over 640 miles from Clinton, Mississippi to Savannah, Georgia (we're still driving actually). I, personally, was sad to say goodbye to the magnolia trees of Mississippi but I know Rachel is probably glad she doesn't have to listen to me obsess over them anymore. Ha! As suggested by Mr. Drew Thornley, we stopped in Birmingham at Full Moon for some delicious bar-b-que! The food was great but the University of Alabama decorations were a bit overwhelming, especially for this Aggie. There was just one too many pictures of Nick Saban staring at me. Luckily we were distracted by two lovely "transplants" (residents not originally from Alabama - their term, not mine) who asked to sit at our table. We had a wonderful conversation with Sherry and Christina about finding the sister you never had, traveling across the U.S., and Alabama the Beautiful. They had traveled to several states, including Texas, and shared some quite comical stories about culture shock and learning the nuances of restaurant etiquette in various cuisines. They suggested we keep a blog of our road trip... Our response: we actually have one and were wondering if you wouldn't mind being in it! Check out the People We've Met page for the picture with our Alabama friends.
We searched the walls and found some Texas representation!
Crossing the Alabama - Georgia state line was a bit hairy, I'd rather not explain why to spare our parents of a heart attack. Rachel, Henry, and I are safe and now about 50 miles outside of Savannah, excited about taking a ghost tour of one of the most haunted cities in America. Rachel has never been on a ghost tour before so well see if she ever wants to go on another one. Especially after going on one with me... Well post some pictures tomorrow if we make it out alive!
