Woke up early, ate at the hotel (biscuits and gravy... not so good) hit the road towards Louisiana!
The roads out of North Carolina were gorgeous, mountainy, twisty, but we couldn't see the sights 'cause it was POURING RAIN and cloudy and awful. Coupla miles into Georgia the rain stopped and the sun even came out briefly, but the rest of the ride has been overcast & chilly. Least it's not pouring though, that made visibility tricky, even in the daylight.
We drove across a time zone! I'd been wondering this am if there'd be a sign, and there was! But it was small. We did watch the time change on Misty's phone and thought that was the coolest thing.
The trees are all budding down here and they're BEAUTIFUL. Eastern Redbuds and (apparently) Bradford pear trees. I'm still waiting for palm trees.
After Friday's 15-hour slog, today's 10-hour trip seems like cake! We're FOUR HOURS away from New Orleans!! Here we come!!
