We ate a nice breakfast at the hotel, and then headed to Cafe du Monde to pick up some beignets. No trip to New Orleans is complete without beignets.
●●● The Drive home!
Total miles: 518
Hours Driving: 8 hours
State Count: 12 - Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana
With the car full of the smell of fried dough and powdered sugar, we headed for the long trek home... our longest drive of the whole trip. And boy were we ready to be home.
We had to stop at the Texas border to welcome us home!
And a quick stop for lunch at a restaurant in Orange Texas that Dave thought he remembered and then realized it wasn't the one he remembered. It was still good though!
And then home.
Truly, the most amazing of road trips. When I ask the boys which was their favorite stop, they can't even limit it to 5:
City Museum
no, the Alligators
Oh - and Westmoreland State Park
-- What about the Caves?
Oh those too, and Shenandoah!
--And how about the baseball game and Big Springs?
Those are our favorites too!
--Did you forget diamonds?
That was so long ago, I completely forgot. That was my favorite too :o)
It is amazing everything we managed to do on this trip!! it was honestly the trip of a lifetime!!
