The truck was loaded and the condo was tidy when we met Christina, Andrew and the girls for brunch at the yacht club. After a delicious meal, we were on the road by 12:15. Ken drove his allotted two hours, followed by me for another two, and soon after one more change of drivers, we stopped for the night north of Birmingham. I am so impressed with the choice of motels in these smaller cities and towns. We are in a Comfort Suite, with a sitting area and a desk. Wonderful facilities for $80.
Now we have less than four hours to drive tomorrow. Our route will take us along a small scenic way, right through the Smokey Mountains, ending at Gatlinberg. The day was hot but in the car it was comfortable so we enjoyed the day. Now Ken is trying to find his cork screw so we can enjoy a relaxing glass of wine.
We are always torn when we say goodbye to the family. Our stay in Jackson was lovely. On the other hand, we love to get to the next place. So here we are, hitting the road once again, and enjoying it too.
