Turns out there is this nasty thing called snow that falls out of the sky to plague us. There is a bunch of it in the yard right now. Rumor has it there is more of it spread all over the east coast. Williamsburg is on the east coast. Screw you, snow! Anyway, because of the big storm, we are changing our trip. I cried a bunch because I really had my heart set on Williamsburg, but we finally hit on a plan that makes me nearly as happy.
We are setting out tomorrow for the Alamo! What other name rings with so much adventure? We are going to drive into Texas by the northern route, through Birmingham, Meridian (we're staying tomorrow night with my mom), and Shreveport. We'll go through Dallas-Ft. Worth, down to Austin, and finally to San Antonio and the Alamo. Then, we'll come home by the southern route through Houston, Baton Rouge, and Mobile.
We haven't made many plans for what to do on the way, yet, but we will hunt up good adventures every night in the hotel. We are going to stop at Moundville, AL to see the Indian Mounds tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is still hazy with indecision, just the way I like it.
You'll hear from me on this blog as we travel, and Livy will be posting her pictures. Our new trip name is "Yo, Westward Ho to the Alamo." You have to imagine it with a little bit of a downtown ATL rapper sound; then you'll really understand it. :)
