Alabama 2023 - July 13 - The long road home

There is one primary objective for today, get the Suburban back to the rental company on time.   The secondary objective is to have breakfast at The Ugly Diner.  To achieve both of these we require an early start, so we are packed as much as possible, the night before, ready to leave at 6:30.  In the morning from 6 am, the house is a hive of activity, and everything is set the way it needs to be for check out.  The car is loaded, even the children are ready.  We leave on-time, we arrive at the restaurant at 7:03.  Breakfast is ordered, and eaten.  The whole experience is as good as the other day.

Then there is a 270-mile journey out of Gulf Shores, back to Auburn.  For a while we are in commuter traffic, but once on the Interstate it is a straight forward journey.  We arrive back in Auburn in time to unload and return the car to its rightful owners.

The rest of the day is quiet.  We have Culvers, fish and chips (for Jo and I) for our evening meal, and set ourselves to watch Ted Lasso, in a 'mini-binge' we get through a good part of series 1.
