The day after returning from Virginia Beach, I got back in the car and drove to Houston with my friend who was moving to Arizona. This was a road trip with LOTS of driving. We took our time though so that we didn't have to drive too many miles each day. I got to see several new states that I'd never been to before. The first one was Tennessee.
In Tennessee, we had a good Tennessean meal at Cracker Barrel. We asked a guy working at the hotel what a good authentic place to get Tennessee food would be and he responded that McDonald's or the Waffle House. And he was being serious!
In Tennessee, we saw the Chattanooga Choo Choo, which would be a cool hotel to stay in. All the railroad cars have been converted into hotel rooms. One of the cars was a diner.
We explored Look Out Mountian as well.
The rest of the drive was kinda uninteresting. In Alabama we saw lots of trees. We keep trying to find cool places to stop and never did. The same was true for Georgia and Mississippi. Though it did keep getting hotter and more humid!
Finally, we made it to Louisiana. We stayed the night in Covington. The next morning we got up and went to New Orleans. We drove around and I got to see where all the fun in New Orleans takes place. We got out and walked around but after 15 minutes the heat and humidity was killing us. Abby, the dog, literally stopped walking and wanted to just rest on the sidewalk. So we deciding a driving tour would be best. We did stop at Emeril's to get some delicious Banana Cream Pie!
Later that same day we arrived in Houston, Texas. Thankfully, I spent most of my time playing at the pool while I was in Houston. But my time in Houston was short and I soon was on a plane for SLC, UT for some more adventures.
