We're "not in Kansas anymore"

F
Enjoy a little video I took this morning in GA...

Our two night stay in Mableton, Georgia was comfortable and relaxing yet our excitement for getting to the mountains got us up early this morning and on the road. Nathan and I were captivated by the roadside fields of wild flowers that adorn the highways through Alabama and Mississippi. Within sight of these fields, lone Confederate flags appear here and there to remind us that we don't all think alike. When we crossed the state line into Mississippi, the shock was palpable when the road surface and color changed abruptly from the smooth charcoal grey pavement of Alabama to a rougher surface of creamy colored coffee entering Mississippi.  We had lunch at a roadside diner that didn't taste "normal" to us.

It's clear that we have abandoned our comfort zone and are starting to sound like Ma and Pa Kettle on a Road Trip. Tomorrow we head to Conway, Arkansas!
