Safe, Sound, Clean, Exhausted




So, Cameron and I are back in our prospective homes, relaxing, doing laundry, watching sports, and getting our wits back about us. We reflected on our favorite times of each stop of the trip. We agreed on many things and then had our own most memorable events or places.




Here is a short-list of our favorite things from each city.




Shreveport, LA: Ashley and Cameron-gambling




Vicksburg, MS: Ashley-National Military Park and Rusty's Riverfront Grill


Cameron-Rusty's Riverfront Grill




Tuscaloosa, AL: Ashley-camping experience and seeing the mounds at Moundville


Cameron-starting a fire, seeing the Crimson Tide Stadium at the University




Birmingham, AL: Ashley and Cameron-seeing a new town full of Civil Rights history, eating at Jack n' Nick's




Atlanta, GA: Ashley- Georgia Aquarium, Centenniel Olympic Park, and MLK historical site


Cameron- Aquarium and Coca-Cola Museum, The Highlander dinner




Augusta, GA: Ashley-it was ok, but nothing jumps out


Cameron- seeing the solid fence and high trees surrounding the Master's Golf


Course




Charleston, SC: We both agree that this was our favorite spot of them all. How fitting since it was our final destination anyway. Imagine that.


Ashley-the beauty of a costal and historical town, the City Jail Ghost Tour, Fleet's Landing dinner (mmmm, scallops), the Citadel, the beach, breakfast, and, above all else, seeing the dolphins the morning of our little family run.


Cameron- the Citadel, the Ghost Tour, the whole town itself, the beach




We are so grateful to be home safe and sound. Cinder did wonderfully on our trip and we couldn't be more proud and, honestly, relieved, that she did so well. Cameron and I both have learned some things about road trips, sight seeing, and camping. But, above all else, we've learned that this is something that we love to do and we have a lot of fun doing it. Not to mention how much we have learned about the towns we have visited and about each other.




It's wonderful to be with a person you like to be around, even if it is 24/7 for 8 straight days.
