Home Sweet Home on the South Coast of Ohio

Good morning,

Well, here we are approaching the South Coast of Ohio.
As we approached Cincinnati from the South we descended from the rolling hills of Kentucky into the Ohio River Valley.
It sure feels good. 
We're now on the Ohio side of the river and passing downtown Cincinnati.

Almost home!

Kentucky Barn

Good morning,

We enjoy road trips and all the scenery in various parts of the country.

This Kentucky barn has seen many years of use and is still part of an active farm. 

What stories this barn could tell!

Passing Through Atlanta, GA

Good morning,

We generally avoid driving through Atlanta, but this time we took this route because our hotel to the East had sustained damage during Hurricane Matthew and was still being repaired.
Coming into Atlanta this way reminds of us of the approach to Washington, DC.
We stayed on I75 and went through downtown Atlanta.  When we passed the airport, we were "buzzed" by aircraft, but I wasn't fast enough to get a picture this time.
This was a Saturday morning so the traffic wasn't as bad as we have experienced it before during rush hour.

Homeward bound!

Country Cookin'

Good morning,

We stopped at The Farm House Restaurant in Southern Georgia for some local cooking and had this fantastic lunch. 

That's very fresh grilled fish, fries, hush puppies, slaw, and iced tea.  YUM!

Yep, lots of fried food here, but sometimes you just have to do as the locals do when with the locals. 

It was wonderful! 

Enjoy,
Lois

If All Else Fails Read Instructions

Good morning,

The sign above was posted in a Georgia establishment;  the sign below was posted in an Ohio establishment.
I saw them both within the same week.

If all else fails, read instructions!

Huge Bales of Cotton

Good morning,

Now here's something a little different that we saw on the road in Georgia.

These are huge bales of cotton.  As the truck went down the road, tiny pieces of cotton freed themselves and appeared to be a light snow.   

I would guess this cotton is coming to a store near you as underwear, t-shirts, cotton yarn....  ;)

How neat!

Jacksonville's Concrete Spaghetti

Good morning,

Every time we pass through Jacksonville, Florida, this area of highway reminds me of a bowl full of concrete spaghetti.
This will be the last time through here for awhile.
this time we took I10 West to I75 to go North instead of through through Savannah.
Goodbye for awhile Jacksonville....
