Days 2 & 3 of our Christmas Road Trip – 2011



Tuesday morning we woke to light rain in Longview, Texas, and headed east on I-20 for a long drive during intermittent rainfall.  We passed through Monroe, Louisiana, to Vicksburg, Mississippi, where we stopped for lunch.  Then we drove east through Jackson, Meridian, Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Gadsden, where we stopped for dinner, to Chattanooga where we spent the night.  

The next morning, Wednesday, we woke to a downpour which remained with us through most of the day.  We drove northeast through Knoxville to Ashville, North Carolina.  I had wanted to take a different scenic route but our GPS took us this way which was okay since it was too rainy for seeing the scenery.  We stopped for lunch in Hickory then made our way to Rachel and Deana’s house in Durham, arriving around 4:00 in the afternoon.  It was good to see Rachel and Deana and their dog Olive.  Also, their house was festively decorated for the holidays.  After a good salad for dinner Rita and I slept for about 11 hours straight.
