October 1, 2013
I planned this trip to see the National Parks in the Southeast US. We saw twenty, with many more to go. Sadly, we learned this morning that because of our inept government, they are shuttering every National Park. And just to make sure it stings and they get maximum attention, they are also barricading outdoor memorials and monuments. With no end in sight, we have no choice but to head home. I look at Aimee and she can’t help but have a big smile on her face. She wants to go home.
We drive toward the coast, past the swamps that line this region. In Baton Rouge, LA, the sky opens and we are in a deluge of rain. We pull off and take a nap. That is one of the many benefits of traveling with your bed in the trunk. We can stay as long as necessary, even overnight.
