New Orleans to home

After one more round of beignets from Cafe de Monde, we headed to Memphis TN for our first night's stay. Along the way we saw many cotton fields and rolls of cotton! We checked in at the T.O.Fuller State
Park campground and then went to Beale St for dinner and music. We ate at BBKings while being entertained by some great live music. Then we walked the streets checking out various musicians along the way. A short but fun visit. The second day was a shorter drive (4 hours) to St Louis. We were meeting up with Josh and Liz. Since they were still working when we got there, we went to Lumeire Sculpture Park. It is a very nice and spacious park with almost 70 sculptures. It was a great place to stretch our legs and spend a couple of hours. Next we met up with Josh and Liz, drove to what will soon be their new house and then walked to a brewery and a pizza place for dinner. It was another short, but wonderful visit!! We drove about 1.5 hours before spending the night in Effingham. The next morning we started the final leg home driving in and out of rain. It was a great trip!Read more
