Driving

We had originally planned to stop and see what could be seen in Mississippi but since it was cool and very foggy we only made a couple of short stops along the way. We drove the scenic route which was indeed very scenic, driving along miles and miles of sandy beaches. Due to the weather the beaches were empty but I could easily picture them on a hot summer day filled with couples and families basking in the sunshine, splashing in the ocean and building sand castles.

For lunch we found this cool place called The Shed where they make really good barbecue food. The food was very good, the meat was very tender and the place was interesting.

Arriving in the rain in Mobile we chose to watch a movie since walking in the rain with the strong wind blowing did not sound too appealing. Our night sleep was not so comfortable as the humidity was extremely high and the temperature felt very warm and in the morning it was still quite warm. By lunchtime it had cooled off considerably but it was still raining so instead of trying to find things to do we drove on our way to Montgomery.

We did make a stop at Priestners, a lovely shop that sold pecans and all kinds of other gifts. Tim bought his share of pecans, unfortunately for me most of them contained sugar which as you may know I cannot consume at this time, so I was out of luck but I did find some really cute baby gifts for our grandson (who should be making his appearance into this world at the end of March).

The rain was still coming down so we were hopping to do some shopping at a mall but the mall did not have any shops that we wanted so instead we saw another movie and bunkered down for the night in the mall parking lot. Thankfully the wind died down and with our furnace going we had a very restful and peaceful sleep.

Thank you God for your peace.
