More Random shots from yesterday in TN





At the Welcome Center










Some shots from the road...some in "Old Town" Knoxville, where all the bars and nightclubs live. The giant "ball" is the Sunsphere, which was built for a World Fair a few years back.

Rain in Mississippi


Here's a pic of the road .

Day 4 Atlanta,GA-Gulfport,MS









Today we woke up in Atlanta and had a quick breakfast with Josh and Catie at a place called the "flying biscuit". I was a bit "under the weather" and enjoyed my biscuit as take-out, after a much needed nap in the car. We headed out hoping to reach New Orleans tonight. We ended up staying in Mississippi due to torrential downpours and fog on the road. For lunch, we stopped in Mobile, Alabama. These pics are from Mobile. There were lots of interesting window displays I enjoyed shooting. Also did my first driving today. About 100 miles in Alabama until we neared the gulf, and the rain got scary to drive in:)







Day 3 Virginia, Knoxville, Atlanta






Amber..At this moment, I'm cuddling with Ghandi and typing. She's so sweet. Both of the girls are happy here. We did a day in TN and met with Ariel's friend in Knoxville. More fried pork and Johnny Cash on the radio. Not kidding.

In Atlanta for the night with Josh. Very tired. Enjoy the pics:) Sorry they're kinda lame... I have others, but am too tird to edit and so forth. Bye for now:)

Day 2 Virginia


Sleeping in Virginia tonight at a Howard Johnson we learned about through a free coupon book picked up at some rest stop. Good deal on a nice room. The only stop we made in Virginia was at this Texas Steakhouse off the highway. Surprisingly excellent steak (I had a short rack of baby back ribs). We were taken aback when the hostess asked if we wanted to sit in "smoking or non-smoking". Neither of us could remember the last time we heard that question....

More Maryland pics








The push button pic was one of Ariel's. Kinda funny.

Day 2-NJ, MD, DL, PA, VA




Here's some pics of us hanging out in Baltimore with some sculpture. We found some on-street parking, ate some seafood (I had a crab cake sandwich and Ariel had blackened tilapia). Then we went to a giant mall and bought a 1GB card for my camera. We took a few more snapshots here, and headed to our next stop. Enjoy the pics.
