Our day started early. Mom and I were up and gone by 6:45 am. Several of the people on the trip met at church this morning for a short devotional and communion. Then it was off to Traders and Farmers Bank parking lot where we loaded on to our tour bus to meet with other members of our group. We made a second stop in Double Springs and Addison to pick up the rest of our group. After a a winding trip through the backroads of Winston County (can we say car sick?) we finally hit the interstate in Cullman headed north. Our tour guides gave out goody bags with numbers stapled to the bag. That number assigned is for door prizes. Im proud to say I won a pair of pink ankle socks :) Then we played a riviting game of Bingo. I won a cookie tray. Maybe my mom will win cookies to go on the tray next time we play!
We stopped at McDonalds in Franklin, KY for lunch. A tour group from Chilton County was there too so you can imagine the half educated fry girl behind the counter was anything but happy to see a group of "55 and over men and women" plus a 35 year old tag along crowd through the door. After lunch we got back on the bus and drove north again on the interstate. We passed through Louisville, KY and then on to Cincinati, Ohio. We stoppd for dinner at Cracker Barrel and then settled into our hotel for the night.
I am traveling with some of the most hysterical women. They are retired, away from their husbands and looking for trouble!!! Haha Who knew a group of "prime timers" could be such a laugh.
Tomorrow we drive on to Mackinaw City, Michigan. Did I mention the weather there is going to be cold!?!? We just finished winter in Alabama and here we are about to do it all again :) It should be a lot of fun!!
More tomorrow!
