The day after Christmas we packed up the car and started our road trip to Florida. We enjoyed unseasonably warm temperatures. Our first stop was the St. Basilica is St. Louis. It was absolutely beautiful! It reminds me of the cathedrals in Spain.
I loved the nativity and the Christmas decorations inside of the Basilica. Our final stop of the evening was in Nashville. We drove around the State Capital and then enjoyed dinner in German-town. Monell's is a family-style restaurant where you sit around large tables with other people and you pass around the food as you would with your family. Their motto is "Enter as strangers. Leave as friends." We sat with a family from Albany, Georgia who was visiting family in Nashville for the holidays. It was a lot of fun and it was also good Southern comfort food.
I don't have any pictures of day 2 in the car, because it was long and rather painful. We hit really ugly traffic in Atlanta that added 3 hours to our travel time. We canceled our sightseeing plans in favor of just trying to get out of the city. We experienced heavy traffic all through Florida as well, so we were thrilled when we finally arrived late that night.
