Back to Normal

We had a splendid trip to Georgia! The weather was great with only a slight mist for a brief period in Southern Indiana as we returned Tuesday. Monday we stopped in Murfeesboro, Tennessee to view the Stone River National Battlefield, a Civil War Battleground where nearly 24,000 men lost their life in less than a week! Now we have seen two Civil War battle fields and my wife says that any others would look the same so no more. The history presented is both revealing and interesting.

We traveled back up the Pennyrile Parkway in Kentucky just to see what the sights looked like during daylight. Even as we near Winter the browns and sparse greens were pleasant to view. We were going to stay in Evansville, Indiana, but the traffic was heavy and finding the entrance to a motel was frustrating especially in the dark. We drove on north to I-64 and Indiana Route 41 and found a place to stay. Right across the road was a Stoll's Amish buffet restaurant where the food was good and the price very reasonable! The normal price for the evening meal was $8.50 plus tax and we got a senior discount of 10%.

Tuesday we continued our trip taking Indiana Route 41 North by Vincennes and through Terre Haute before switching to Indiana Route 63. Traffic was sparse and plenty of Walmart's and Dollar Stores to stop and shop. Made it home about 4:00 PM and was plenty tired.

Here are a few pictures: The Georgia Peach and a few birds pictures from Georgia.
