Shabbos in Atlanta was enjoyable.  Turns out there were two families on the block that owned RVs!

I drove into Alabama to visit Horseshoe Bend National Military Park:

My next stop was Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site.  It was here that African-American pilots were trained for combat in World War II.  The visitor center was closed but it was still an interesting visit:

My next stop was nearby Tuskegee Institute National Historic Site:

This is Booker T. Washington’s house, The Oaks.  It was interesting to see the final chapter in Washington’s life, as we visited Booker T. Washington National Monument in 2016 where we saw the slave quarters where he grew up:

I continued south to pick up Trish at the Mobile airport.  We then continued south to Duaphin Island.  See the trip map for today’s drive.
