Today, the plan was to go to the WWII museum in New Orleans, and then maybe the Beauvoir House in Biloxi (the house where Jefferson Davis lived after the Civil War, and where he wrote his memoirs. I also planned to spend some time in Mobile seeing the history. But as I was planning my day, I realized that I don’t have time! I know that sounds strange when I have six weeks, but I still have a lot of stops to make before I have to be in Culpeper, VA, on the 15th (because I have a reservation there). So I had to skip a lot of history sites, and some beautiful scenery, such as the Gulf Coast, in order to get where I believe I need to be by this Saturday (I’m thinking Savannah, GA). I’m also going to change plans and visit Chattanooga, TN, after my two weeks in Virginia. Thus demonstrating rule number 1 of road trips: You will always plan to do more than what you end up having time for. Also rule number 2: You will have to change your itinerary several times during your trip. So instead, I drove straight through to Montgomery, Alabama.
No pictures today, because I never can find good places to stop and get pictures of the cool sights I see when I’m driving, and it’s too hard to try to take a picture while driving. I guess I’ll have to find time to come back this way in the future and spend more time here. Happy Road-Tripping!
