Heading Home

 

Friday September 29, 2023

We were up and headed north by 9:30. We retraced our drive back to Montgomery but there continued on I 65 north towards Birmingham and then Chattanooga on I 59. Going through Montgomery and Birmingham was a great choice over Atlanta on a weekday. 

One thing about the drive north through Alabama - boring.  Trees grown along both sides of road make you feel you are driving in a tunnel. 

We made a stop at the Priester’s Pecan location, but Jane still was not feeling like shopping after we got inside.  She sat in a rocking chair on the porch while Ben looked for just the right pralines to match with what we had bought at Buc-ee's. 

We continued on from Birmingham to our stop near Gadsden AL where we would spend the night in a less than wonderful hotel.  We settled for a Quality Inn because it was a big race weekend and all the other hotels were booked.  Clean and bed fine but nothing to write about.  We had dinner at a nearby Cracker Barrell.
