May 24 – June 2 We’d been planning for about six months a return to Europe to celebrate our 40th anniversary this year. The impetus for this is that we originally planned on getting married there in 1982 (we did visit but ended up returning to the US to get hitched) and since have celebrated […]
May 17 – 23 The car repaired and a good night’s sleep behind us, we set out on the first of what would be three long days of driving, much of it along a route we’d not traveled before. That first day would take over nine hours and land us in Cheyenne, Wyoming where would […]
May 11 – 16 And so, the big day arrived and with it the anticipation that always accompanies an event of this scope and magnitude. In the long run, all that really matters is that the loving couple get married that day, but with so much thought and planning invested one hopes no mishaps get […]
May 11 – 16 As anticipated, the drive to Kansas City was an easy one and we arrived at McKenzie and Dillon’s (M&D) place by mid-afternoon Tuesday. It would be a busy week as the days would be filled with preparation for the wedding taking place on Saturday, which I would have the honor of […]
April 29 – May 4 We left downtown with no other touristy motive than to drive around a bit and as we ascended the onramp to the freeway noticed a bridge in the near distance that caught our attention. We steered the car in that direction and after some circling, found a parking lot that […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
April 27 – May 9 For our one full day in Jackson, we’d originally planned to tour the state capital building but soon discovered that it being Saturday, that option was out as the facility was closed. Instead, we started with, and spent a full morning at, the Mississippi Ag and Forestry Museum, a 39-acre […]
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, […]
