Road Trip--Day One

We have been talking about taking a road trip for some time and when US Air lost our reservations to fly to New Orleans recently we decide to drive instead.  The next few postings will cover our trip.  If you are not interested in this kind of stuff, just skip it.  I'm not going into a lot of details.  Just a few pictures of what we saw along the way.

When our daughter and her husband invited us to join them in New Orleans for a few days, we jumped at the chance.  They were to drive from Nashville, TN. and we were to fly out of RDU.

We departed from our home on June 3 (my birthday) at 7:30 am.  We had a pleasant drive all the way to Montgomery AL.  It took us eight and one half hours to make the trip.  I should mention that our son in law grew up in Montgomery and attended school at Auburn.  Our trip happened to take us through both places.  

Visitor's Center

Renascence hotel in downtown Montgomery where we stayed.  

Entrance to Riverfront Park across the street from hotel. 

That would be me at the park on the Alabama River. 

Union Train Station taken from our room. The river is directly behind the station. 

Court Square. Montgomery is the state Capitol and is a very pretty town, much like Raleigh.
