1) Visit Papa in Georgia for his 80 birthday
2) Travel and see America via back roads avoiding interstates
3) Kyle learn to drive
We had a wonderful visit with Papa over the past few days for our first objective and we are still working on #2 & #3. A few days ago we added a 4th objective
4) See some Alligators
When Kyle found out that Alligators lived in the Louisiana bayou he became obsessed. On our trip east when we stopped at the Sprague’s home Donna took us on a side trip to the bayou but unfortunately they were in hiding, and from a reliable source they had gone to Florida. Kyle was disappointed but never gave up hope. On our trip back west we had an extremely aggressive day planned traveling 813 miles.
As we were traveling through Louisiana today I caught a glimpse of a sign about alligators. After inquiring at a gas station we were off in pursuit. After a few miles we came to the gator farm but it was closed. After explaining to the proprietor our sad story of our journey across America and my son who so longed to see an Alligator, the proprietor let us in the park and we didn't have to pay admissions. It was an incredible park and the alligators were awesome
