We have a few goals for this trip. The idea of this trip started when our friend "Pogo" invited us to a "smoke'n by the bayou" pre Marti gras party in Gautier (pronounced go-shay), Mississippi. That lined up with a convention I had to work in San Antonio, TX so we said let's do it!
When I was looking at the route, I realized many Gold Star families who we know were along our route so we added them to our list of stops. As a bonus, I was able to get a pre release copy of a movie that has footage for the Marine Corps battalion (2nd battalion, 8th Marines) in which our sons served. The Hornets Nest will be released mid May, 2014.
The third goal is to visit family in Texas. It has been too many years since Carolyn saw her cousins.
Finally, since we are this far, why not go big and keep going to the Grand Canyon. I was there several years ago. It was the end of January and there was a weird combination of weather conditions that included a snow storm and fog. When we got to the edge of the canyon, we couldn't see a thing. I mean zip...nadda.
This is the map that we've come up with. Who knows what "Mystery Spots" we will discover along the way.
