Savannah Wedding

Hinton RV Park
Sikeston, Missouri



Jenna's wedding was as beautiful as she looked.  The setting was perfect with all the beautiful trees and fountain.


   Bill was very tired after having to walk a few blocks from our parking space so we didn't go to the reception.  (FYI--the truck was parallel parked perfectly on a side street.)............... By me! 

The following morning we were ready to leave Savannah early.  I know we are among the few, but its not a place we like.  Ants, sand, bugs, and humidity are not something we love.  

I had decided that we'd head to Columbus, GA which would make us heading west and also detour Atlanta.  I told Bill that way, if he decided it was too much, we'd head to Casa Grande.   He said he was doing fine, and to head to Sedalia.  I thought we'd stay somewhere near Columbus but I kept driving.  I took US hwy 280 to Birmingham.  The traffic was horrendous in Birmingham and the rain came down.  Once we were out of Birmingham we tried finding a RV park along I 22.  We ended up driving into Mississippi and stayed at a COE park in Fulton.  I ended up driving 502 miles.  By the time I got the coach parked, I was really tired.  We drove back to town and fueled up the truck and our stomachs. 

We got back to the rig just as a big storm blew through.  The power went out but we were so tired, we just went to bed.  

Here's some trees that blew down or got hit by lightning last night in the park.
There were many more down when we left the park.  

It was cloudy today but cleared up later.  

Bill did a happy dance when we crossed the Mississippi River.  He always feels like he's back in the west when he crosses that river.

Our plan was to stop at Lambert's Throwed Rolls in Sikeston for lunch.  Well when we pulled into Sikeston, we just decided to park the coach and then go for lunch.

  6. So sorry to hear about Bill's problems. Out of breath after cabbage is always something to look into. There's for sure a problem. David's having the same thing and the doctors are adjusting his meds. You are really something driving over 500 miles. WOW!! The wedding looks beautiful and I'm so glad you got to attend.
