Today’s route took us along a lovely stretch of highway in western North Carolina, across the northwest corner of Georgia, and into Alabama. It feels strange to be traveling without the T@B-400 behind us but it makes sense in this June heat with a family visit in Texas as our destination. A couple of hotel nights and family hospitality should work nicely. As the day wore on we were watching storm clouds ahead and checking radar on our Accuweather app. We’re finally into the storm with hail a distinct possibility and still an hour away from the hotel in Bessemer where we have reservations. Guess it’s time to stop and take shelter. There’s a Walmart at this exit. Maybe we can duck in and wait the storm out. Perhaps walk some laps, get some steps on the Fitbits, and possibly do a little shopping.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
