Hilton Head Vacation Day 8: On Our Way Home

Today we began our journey home. After waking up and packing the car we were ready to tell Patti and Cashlin good-bye and begin our drive back to Louisiana. Our plan was to evaluate the weather and Tropical Storm Fay and determine our best route; however, after the initial evaluation it seemed that rain and wind during the journey was inevitable. Our best option would be to drive the shortest/quickest distance and just bear the weather.

We had relatively good weather until we stopped for lunch in Dublin, GA at a Zaxby’s (which is a lot like Raising Cane’s but has a little more variety, including wings). After lunch, we drove through rain and wind pretty much the entire afternoon, though the weather calmed enough while we were driving through Fort Valley Georgia (near Warner Robins) for us to take a break at Lane Packing Company’s Peach Café (read a review here). There mom and I shared a serving of peach cobbler topped with peach ice cream. It was very good!

While driving through Alabama, we thought of stopping early; however, we thought the drive through the rain today will provide clearer skies and easier driving tomorrow. We drove to our original destination: Mobile. Hopefully we are correct. After we eat supper, hopefully we will have a restful night of sleep. Here are the few pictures that I took today.
