Sleep Inn & Suites Millbrook

... 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 ...

... the Civil Rights Memorial that was created by Maya Lin (the same woman that designed the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC). The memorial is a large round disk that is engraved with a time line of the of the most significant events of the civil rights movement. Black granite with dates and memories of struggle, prejudice, sacrifice, resistance and deaths, persecution and changes in our legal system were there in a dramatic, yet subtle ...

... and field and past the caretakers home we finally arrive at the farm to the braying of Beau, the donkey. Four or five dogs have joined in chasing us with welcoming barks and a great wagging of tails. Young and Suzy call them by name and discuss their health and well being as they drive along to "Glen Thistle".
The farm is Young’s dream home......open and spacious and ready for fun. There are three bedrooms downstairs with a sleeping room dormitory style upstairs. As Andy and I ...

... sauntered in with a confidence only a man used to his station in life exudes. "If that is true", Young drawls in his slow paced perfectly timed bass voice, "I’ll walk naked to the Dairy Queen!"

That set the pace for the evening as we all climbed in Young’s SUV and travel down to Marney’s a couple blocks away. George had to leave us to be with his wife, Donna for her birthday dinner. For George to squeeze in time to visit with us ...

I dropped Luba off at the Savannah airport this morning at 5am. It was hard to see her off. We had the best time ever.

I had taken all side roads today all the way from Savannah. Traveled almost 600 miles before stopping for the day. I rode mostly on US 80 the entire day. I love riding on two lane roads. Its a great way to see the country side.

Stopped in Montgomery, Al. It just will not stop raining. Need a break. Waiting for the weather to ...

... 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.

... to fall forward exposing emptiness behind. Immediately post leaving the town square is ghetto. It was late and weird. We cross the Chattahoochee at Eufaula into Alabama and (passing Batesville which Ted says is the home to Norman Bates' hotel from Psycho) continued on to the State capital Montgomery where, after waking the nice lady manager out of deep slumber, we found a near empty field/RV park. Day 27, May 29th We arranged a ...

... and take off---thermos of coffee, snacks and nerve pill. It was not long that we started to find out just how bad the interstate was. We did not get more that a couple of miles before we started to cars and trucks off the side of the interstate. Needless to say--you could not stick a pin up our butts and proceeded to drive. The roads was horrible--they have no snow removal AL. As we ...
