Thursday, June 7 – This was a triple-state day: Woke up in Alabama, drove through
Mississippi, and will go to sleep in Louisiana.
At the suggestion of our friend Chris before one of our road trips a few
years ago, we try to always stop at the state Welcome Center/Rest Area after
crossing a state line. As we saw in
Mississippi, you never know what you’re going to get. (After the Mississippi Welcome Center, the
next-best Welcome Center was probably in New Hampshire as we drove up the East
Coast in 2010.) Another added
bonus: they often have a great state
sign for good photo-ops. (We’ve found
this to be the case more in the South than in other parts of the country.)
OK, so admittedly, this picture is pretty cheesy. But heck, it’s rather appropriate given that
the start and end of this trip was in Louisiana, right? We are not embarrassed…
Once again, another storm was a-brewin’ as we crossed Lake
Ponchartrain. We’ve seen these storms
daily since hitting the Charleston/Savannah area.
