Drury Inn Suites Montgomery

... lamps of different shapes and design, fluffy new towels, and a beautiful window shade that looked like art.

When we arrived at the venue, we were greeted by the most fun crew we've had yet. These guys have worked our show several times, and were familiar with the whole deal. So, when the van arrived late due to a flat tire, they had already unloaded the truck and were half way set up. They were so ...

... tour. We saw a historical movie, his study, a mural (that we weren't allowed to photograph) and the pulpit where he preached from. While it felt a bit irreverent, we were welcomed to stand at his pulpit and look out over the pews, as he once did. Wow....what a chill went up my spine when I stood there, put my hands on the sides of the podium, and looked out.

Next, we went over to the Southern Poverty Law Center and looked ...

... delicious and fun these family and friend dinners must be!!!
Andy and I just gotta come back here to experience in full the "Glen Thistle" Farm life in in all its glory!!
That night Young and Suzy took us out to one of their favorite haunts. An Italian restaurant with a relaxed family atmosphere and the greatest pizza ever. Daughter Georgia and her husband, Dustin joined us for a delicious and fun filled dinner. Georgia works as a teacher as she completes her Masters degree and ...

... s house visitng her Uncle while a young girl. The house had changed hands over the years but had not been kept up with the times. When Marney heard it was to come on the market, she bought it and dove right in to make it fit her lifestyle. Marney changed walls and location of rooms and has given this wonderful old homestead a new lease on life. The workmanship is wonderful as it is clever in design and function. Reflecting her sense of color and the marrying ...

... used. By the way Davis is buried in the same cemetery where my family has a plot in Richmond.

After about three hours in Montgomery I headed west and stayed on US 80. What an amazing ride that was. I was pretty much in the middle of no where the entire day. Somewhere between Dublin and Montgomery I was it by some angry storms. The rain I can handle. When the wind is blowing so hard that it pushing me into oncoming traffic I need to pull over. I ...

... her to willingly join us in the water. So that meant I had to pull her in. This was not an easy task and she scurried out as quickly as she could.

In the afternoon, my cousin Frankie saddled up some of the horses and Alex got to go for a little ride. Then there was more swimming and even time to hold one of Uncle D's new baby ducks...a father's day gift from his daughters.

We had a very peaceful and relaxing visit and can't wait to go back again.

... Oreo cookie and cream cheese balls dipped in chocolate...decadence. While Jackie was cooking, we walked down to the barn so Alex could help feed the horses. Tori & Bella were very intrigued with these new creatures and weren't quite sure how to approach them. It was a funny site.

Rob Troke entry: Day 26, May 28th Ted's driving experience begins. We practice in the parking lot of a Publix and then head for the highway out of Florida. Ted's got the hang of it I think. We drive into southwestern Georgia and stop for dinner at Moby *****, an isolated Country Cooking place along the highway (19 miles south of Blakely). A nice, very southern, old but energetic guy walking to his car noticed our NJ plates and came ...

... highway at Atlanta to look for somewhere to eat only to see lots of men standing either in small groups or on their own beside the road. It would appear they were probably waiting for someone such as construction workers to come a long and offer them a job for the day. It was actually quite sad to see so many looking for work that way with little hope of actually getting anything, especially considering it was quite late in the day.

... we are met with another history buff who shows us his artifacts and art work and then we toodle on over to the other side of town where I see the parsonage where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lived with his family for 6 years while he was minister of the Baptist Church there. It's also the residence that was bombed during the bus boycott. At this point it is getting later in the afternoon, but we want to see the actual state Capitol building, which is ...
