KC Wedding – Natchez Trace, Part Five
April 27 – May 9 We left Tuscumbia with a moderate seven-hour day ahead of us that would get us more than halfway to Galveston and our date with orthopedic destiny. Our stop that night would be at the SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western in Hammond, Louisiana, the chain’s budget level offering in their […]
KC Wedding – Natchez Trace, Part Four
April 27 – May 9 As planned, we spent the morning taking care of errands leaving the afternoon free to do the one thing we’d come here for, that is to tour one of the famous sound studios in the area. There are three available, but the two worth visiting are: FAME Studios and Muscle […]
KC Wedding – Natchez Trace, Part Three
April 27 – May 9 On the way to the entrance to the Trace we stopped, as mentioned in the prior post, for a couple of really, really good donuts at The Donut Shop Café, a combo donut shop and small café serving breakfast items. We polished off two of those bad boys plus kept […]
KC Wedding – Natchez Trace, Part One
April 29 – May 9 Today we’d be heading up to Jackson, Mississippi for a couple of nights and I would ride a section of the Natchez Trace on my bike while Joanna followed in the car. The Trace is a historic forest trail which extends roughly 440 miles from Nashville, Tennessee, to Natchez, Mississippi, […]
KC Wedding – Natchez, Part One
April 27 – 28 We closed out our stay at the Best Western in Galveston and drove the short distance to the ferry landing for our ride across the channel to the eastern mainland for the seven-hour drive to Natchez. It was nice to be back behind the wheel after our lengthy stay, and although […]
KC Wedding – Galveston, Part Three
April 20-26 Joanna was feeling spry the morning after our day out and decided to walk over to another nearby bakery, Sunflower (we’d eat breakfast there later in the trip), returning with a something good to eat, although in retrospect not quite as tasty as what we’d consumed from PattyCakes. Our goal for the day, […]
KC Wedding – Galveston, Part Two
April 20-26 Now knowing we would be staying in Galveston through the following Tuesday, we spent most of the next day, Friday, running some errands around town to pick up food to cook and some accessories to assist Joanna with that big cast she had on her right arm. While out driving around later in […]
KC Wedding – Galveston, Part One
April 20-26 We had a relatively easy four-hour drive to Galveston from San Antonio, arriving at our Airbnb at the check-in time of 3pm. Located on a quiet street, the Del Boca Vista property is a Texas Historical House, the George and Elizabeth Fox House built in 1875. Our lodging would be a two-bedroom apartment […]
KC Wedding – San Antonio
April 18-19 The easy drive north got us to Jessie and Dave’s place just after noon and we settled in for what would be a fairly quiet two nights and one day as Jessie would be working while we were there. Dinner that first night would be excellent burgers Dave grilled for us, which was […]
KC Wedding – Corpus Christi
April 15-17 We left New Braunfels with an expected three hour drive that would take an additional hour due to construction related congestion as we passed through San Antonio. But we arrived safely at Stephanie and Lee’s place, where I’d spent two nights last fall while Joanna settled her mother, so it was nice that […]
