Today starts the beginning of our Fall trip for this year and we are ready to see some sights, experience new restaurants and visit new places. Being locked down and staying home is taking a toll on our congeniality and this trip was not a minute too soon. Just passing the “thank you for visiting Florida sign” lifted pounds off our moods.
We stopped twice at Buc-ee’s Travel Stops because they have the cleanest restrooms on the planet and their chopped brisket sandwich is not too shabby either. If you haven’t visited a Buc-ee’s yet, make sure you do when you see one. They are a destination worth the stop. Be prepared, though. They are always crowded.
Because we crossed into Central Time Zone, it was only 4:30 when we arrived at our hotel. It turned out to be relatively new Marriott Residence Inn with all the amenities. Since we ate breakfast and lunch in the Eastern Time Zone, we were hungry and found our way to the Franklin Chophouse eating quasi healthy food and then a quick tour of downtown Franklin. What a cute town! No New York or Los Angeles but not too small either with lots of shops and restaurants with outdoor tables. This has just become a place on my future bucket list for Christmas some year. I didn’t notice until we started walking, but the humidity is much lower here as is the temperature. Tomorrow should be a good hair day!
