Road trip wrap up

Someone pointed out I stopped posting early on into the road trip. We had such a great time. We rolled into bed exhausted every night! Cathedral Caverns State Park in northeastern Alabama was the highlight of the trip. 

Very fun experience and really fascinating. I did see the prized Mississippi kites that were flying over Alabama. I was delighted to be able to tick those birds off my life list! We drove all over. 

Rosie got to drive a lot. On Thursday before we came home she drove on Highway 64 from Cleveland TN almost to Ducktown. A curvy mountain road but she did super! Then through poor planning I got stuck driving out of the mountains at night and in dense fog. Scary! 

 Spent the night in Dahlonega and drove south toward Atlanta. Did a bit of shopping. Then got off I-75 to drive the back roads. Had dinner at an incredible place called Fresh Air Barbecue in Jackson, Georgia. What a trip! They only serve BBQ sandwiches and Brunswick Stew. We had sandwiches, served on white bread no less and at family style tables. What an adventure. Good food. Memorable restaurant. Arrived home that night at 1:30 a.m. !
