We begin our day in Laurel, Mississippi. It is dark and gloomy start to the drive and rain arrives. We do not fret... JT is playing on the radio and we keep steamrolling through those country roads with sunny skies on the horizon.
We cross into Alabama and stop off in Birmingham for a visit to the Civil Rights Institute. They have some amazing exhibits. We stop off to visit the 16th Street Baptist Church famed for the KKK bombing that killed 4 girls. Our visit provides an important yet sobering view into a dark chapter of our country's history.
After Birmingham and some lunch, it's on the road for many more miles. We cross into Georgia and then into Tennessee, traveling by way of the Great Smoky Mountains. After 9+ hours of driving, we arrive in Asheville, NC for a night's rest. Tomorrow we tour the Biltmore Estate and then begin our journey north along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
