We spent the night at Cracker Barrel due to two failed attempts at Walmart. The first Walmart was in a not so safe area and had signs posted everywhere boldly pronouncing…

Day 3 Adventures and Breakfast Burritos
We left Mississippi this morning after semi-rough night. We’ve had worse but definitely a noisy night at Loves. We stopped at this Louisiana rest stop for a bite to eat and a quick selfie. No Boy in the picture because he was hot and grumpy and stayed in Betty Deux. Breakfast for travel days needs…
