June 13, 2010 we’ve started our 20+ State Road Trip from our home in Southport, NC and headed to Albertville, Alabama. Today will be one of the longest driving days. We cruised through South Carolina into Georgia–both States that we have visited before. But we got pictures of the State Line signs.
We finally made it to Alabama and setup camp in Noccalula Falls Park in Alabama. Whooo was it hot setting up camp.
Once we finished that we headed over to Albertville, AL and met with my buddy Kevin St.Clergy for dinner at Santa Fe restaurant. And no drinks (alcohol that is) I guess you can’t drink on Sunday’s in the restaurants in Alabama.
Or maybe it’s just Albertville–I asked Kevin but he wasn’t sure…anyway I had water, Jesse had tea and while Kevin tried to order a drink
they just laughed at him…no really lol
He’s good friends with the folks there–so we had a nice meal–brainstormed a bit and Jesse and I headed back to our campground.
Didn’t think I’d sleep but the night had cooled some and we slept just fine.
We got up; broke up camp and headed over to EducatedPatients.com where I met with Kevin and we had a conference call with our other partner Daryl Hill.
Spent a few hours there and we headed to Mississippi. Took a detour and went over to Natural Bridge, Alabama…pictures will be loaded to Facebook.
Spent $5 to walk through and get some great pictures. Then we headed on over to Tupelo, Mississippi and visited the Elvis Presley museum.
Decided to stay here overnight–and we are staying in Trace State Park. Absolutely beautiful!! Oh yeah and we’re staying in a cute little cabin right on the water. Jesse cooked steak, corn on the cob, and mashed potatoes…hmmm good.
More to come as we travel the U.S.–hope you’ll leave your comments and let me know of the beautiful places that you have visited.
