Weekend in Wetumpka, AL

As you know, NyCee is quite the little traveler. This weekend she traveled by car to Wetumpka, AL to visit our paternal grandparents. I often tease my Granddad Ollie that black people move FROM Alabama not TO Alabama.

Nonetheless, we packed up the Avalanche and headed west. The drive was quite pleasant. It was a beautiful day on Saturday--nearly 70 degrees and the sun shone brightly in the sky.

Wetumpka is a quaint little city about 10 miles outside of Montgomery. It reminds me of Port Huron, MI. NyCee slept nearly the entire way thanks to a little help from my pal Benadryl. (She is taking the Benadryl for her running nose but it really knocks her out.) When we arrived that morning, waiting for us were Bar-b-Que ribs, baked beans, mac and cheese, with sweet tea. And don't think anything came from a box. No way! Mrs. Martha makes everything from scratch.



We really had a good time. We laughed and talked. It was very relaxing. On Sunday, we attended church and then had lunch at the Olive Garden. Torrential rain fell as we headed home that evening. It took a little longer because of the rain. I was a little Chatty Cathy so the time passed quickly.

I promised that we would come back and visit soon. And as long as Mrs. Martha will cook me a meal, I am there with knife and fork in hand.
