Today has been LONG and filled with travel, but overall it
was pleasant. We left the house at 5:30
– I had planned to go by Dunkin given they claim on their app to be open at 5
AM, they aren’t – they are open at 6. I
had already ordered via the mobile application, so I’ll have to contact them to
get a refund, but that will be a battle for another day. We headed to the airport to board our flight
to Atlanta. As always Augusta airport
was a breeze and we got to do TSA Precheck due to Jack’s status, so it was even
easier – WIN.
We grabbed a coffee/breakfast snack at the airport and
chilled. Once in Atlanta we headed to
our gate to chill some more. Jack went
and got me DD coffee (bless him) and Mama and I grabbed us all some Chic-fil-A. We had a quick breakfast there knowing our flight
would take us through lunch and I hate to pay for plane food… I had to go have my coffee remade by DD, but
they did it without a hassle. Apparently
after the sugar detox a regular coffee with cream/sugar taste like syrup, I
downgraded it to 2 sugars just to cut the bitterness given it’s hard to fly
with heavy cream. It was yummy.
We then hopped on our flight to Salt Lake – the planes keep
getting more uncomfortable, but the flight was uneventful and the staff
friendly. Once in Salt Lake we grabbed
our SUV rental car and headed to the most important place – WALMART. LOL, I know you are thinking, what? That’s your first stop? But alas I’m being a bit frugal and wanted to
get us some fruit and drinks there before going into the tourist areas… I bought
a $5 cooler that goes in my luggage and some ice packs, so we will have cool
drinks during the day without paying tourist prices for them – WIN 😊
Once the practical stuff was done we were on our way – 4
more hours to arrive at our destination.
That being said, the 4-hour drive was peaceful and so scenic. The scenery here is just amazing, it’s so
different than what we are used to and seeing the river meandering through the
mountains is amazing. The cattle and
horses are everywhere, the scrub brush plentiful and the air crisp. It was a little hazy today, but with my
sunglasses it was pretty clear – I bet when it isn’t hazy the colors are extraordinary
though.
We stopped about an hour out of Jackson to grab some food, because
I couldn’t wait any more. We at this
Mexican place – we wanted it to be quick.
It was called La Cabana Del Tequila. We had planned to eat out of a restaurant
that is in a refurbished school bus, but it was closed due to owner health
issues ☹ I pray he is ok.
The restaurant we ended up eating at had fantastic food, but the service
as really, really slow. The people were
kind, but it was SLOOW to get drinks, take orders, even be acknowledged
really. They also have a “seat yourself policy” which
is great, but the restaurant and finding a table is a bit confusing and after
we were seated it was amusing watching other people meander into the 2 or 3
rooms tables were set up in to find a spot.
They need a hostess and they need more servers, but the food was really
good! They didn’t have cheese dip
though, which was odd…
Now we are here, in the condo we’ve rented for a few days and
I’m about to crash. I only got 2 hours
of sleep last night, no rest on the trip over and it’s now 10PM here – 12 AM in
GA. So, I’m out. I’ll update you on our adventure
tomorrow. In the meantime, I pray you
are having a blessed day! Remember, when
God is for you – who can be against you?
