Chapter 1 - Day 12 - Planning Whiplash

Flexibility is the name of this game. The weather at home this weekend is going to be nasty so we needed a new-new plan.


We decided to spend sometime traveling east before heading north toward home. We're heading toward Atlanta to go to Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca Cola, then going toward Virginia to hang out with one of Clay's friends.

Clay isn't hating this plan. 

We spent the night near Hope, AR in the welcome center. Throughout the night we had some trucker neighbors but it was a quiet place to stay the night. We headed out toward Louisiana and Mississippi with no specific destination in mind. The plan was to drive until I didn't want to anymore.

Louisiana was fun. We saw mini oil derricks mixed in with cows, a wild couch in its natural habitat, a muskrat and a couple deer. Drive thru liquor and margarita stores, crawfish and crab shacks, alligator bites and more. 










We crossed into Mississippi and stopped to go potty. Clay was being immature. It wasn't me. Really.





We stopped in Pearl, MS just outside Jackson, MS at the BassPro. Hoping for a quiet night. 

Hugs,
Mother and the Spawn
