Road Trips, The Deep South

Alfred Jackson, An Enslaved Man

June 8, 2014 by Patti 53 Comments
Alfred Jackson

Imagine living to be 99-years-old and living your entire life in the same place, never going beyond what you know.  This is the story of Alfred – Alfred Jackson – an enslaved man who spent the better part of his life in servitude to President Andrew Jackson.

Sun Studio, The Birthplace of Rock & Roll

April 27, 2014 by Patti 22 Comments

I had someone correct my grammar once on a blind date, and within the first 10 minutes the date was over. You just don’t correct somebody’s grammar. That’s just not okay. I’m from Tennessee, so I probably say everything wrong. I might have said ‘ain’t,’ or something like that.

Reese Witherspoon

Man, that record came out and was real big in Memphis. They started playing it, and it got real big. Don’t know why-the lyrics had no meaning.

Charleston, South Carolina & Scarlett O’Hara

February 9, 2014 by Patti 24 Comments

Charleston and Scarlett O’Hara.  I’m finally coming out of my road trip fog and accepting the fact that we are actually home and life goes on.  I always have some delicious little what’s next travel plan in my head.  I can’t help it, I’m always ready to go again.  In the meantime though it’s time to get it in gear and get this Bed & Breakfast Inn of ours ready for guests and the upcoming season.

Southern Hospitality is Alive and Well

January 14, 2014 by Patti 10 Comments

I wasn’t sure what to title this post:  Southern Hospitality is Alive and Well?  The 25-cent Martini? The 3-Martini Lunch?  Happy Birthday to Me?!  So, fueled by a 3-Martini lunch I thought I’d just start writing and see where it takes me.

New Orleans & Saturday Night on Bourbon Street

January 12, 2014 by Patti 20 Comments

It would seem, when the great minds of engineering laid out the path of Interstate 10, they said, “Hey, let’s keep it simple; just mow down the forest and slap on the asphalt.”

See the U.S.A. – 8: Charleston & The Polar Vortex

January 9, 2014 by Patti 10 Comments

When you travel in the winter it’s pretty much a given you’re going to deal with cold weather.  We know this.  We traveled to Paris in January of 2013 and had a great time, despite the cold. Cold, yes, but Polar Vortex cold?  That’s just pushing it.

See the U.S.A. 7: On the Road Again in South Carolina

January 6, 2014 by Patti 8 Comments

I can tell you I am not a boot-stomping yee-ha kind of fan of Willie Nelson. However, I am in fact a fan of his well-known hit, On the Road Again.  Seriously, is there any other song out there better suited for a road trip?  I think not.  But if you’ve got some suggestions, I’m listening.

See the U.S.A. – 6: GPS 3,000 Miles & Counting

December 18, 2013 by Patti 24 Comments

Yesterday, we watched the odometer turn over 3,000 miles. GPS has guided us well. We crossed another time zone somewhere in Tennessee between Nashville and Knoxville. For the most part I’m already having trouble remembering what day it is and where we’ve been.
