We rode past the Paper Mill in Town Creek (that is being torn down) to Highway 31 to Decatur.
Ava ate half a banana, crackers, and drank some milk before we stopped for lunch.
We stopped at Logan's Roadhouse in Decatur for lunch.
Hubby ordered a hamburger and fries.
Ava and I shared ALASKAN cod, fried to perfection in a Samuel Adams Boston Lager batter.
Served with crispy house-made potato chips.

As soon as she finished one berry she,she'i she saidext to her in the back seat so I could feed her and clean her up.
Our next stop was the dollar store, where hubby bought himself a Mt. Dew and Ava a bottle of Apple Juice.
Finally, we arrived at the Clarkson Coveridge.

We walked to a smaller bridge. I took a few pictures.
It was muggy and by the time we arrived at the van, we were all sweating.
We were relieved to feel the cool air from the air conditioner.

| We rode past the Civil War Museum, we did not stop because we were all too hot and tired. |
We came back on Highway 157 through Moulton.
We stopped at a local nursery to pick up some tomatoes and peppers.
We dropped Ava off at her house and came home.
Too tired to get off the couch.
After resting for a couple of hours, we planted our vegetables in our garden box.
