Hubby ordered the big breakfast...
We traveled highway 72 east to Rogersville stopping at Foodland to pick up a couple of can drinks.
We rode to Rogersville's Park where they had just installed a splash pad for kids.

We paid the admission price to enter the park, stopping at the restrooms at the campsite. We stopped at the overlook, near the one-room CCC Museum which was closed.

We stopped and I took pictures of the Burritt Museum and Trough Springs Markers.
We rode down the mountain onto Governors Drive passing the Hospitals.
Next, we rode to Brahan Spring Recreation Center on Ivy Avenue Southwest.
We stopped at the park where we saw the Merrimack Marker.
The marker told about the Merrimack Manufacturing Co., the Huntsville Manufacturing Co., and Springs Industries Inc., 1899 1991. It also told about the Merrimack School & the Joseph J. Bradley School 1900 1967.
Next, we stopped at Brahan Spring Park for a few pictures and to use the restrooms.
We started home, stopping in Athens at Zaxby's to eat dinner.
I ordered boneless wings and a side salad. Hubby ordered a boned chicken wings meal.

Another trip to Huntsville.
The job did not take long and we were home by 7PM.
My son, Andy called and said mom we are going to shoot fireworks at 8:30PM so at 8:15PM we rode to my son's house.
We sprayed ourselves with bug spray grabbed our fold-out chairs and off we rode to my son's house.
We had a great time with family watching them shoot off fireworks.
These three bulldogs hated the sound of the fireworks and we had a hard time keeping them away from chasing the fireworks.
We were home by 10PM both of us dropped into bed from exhaustion.
