On Friday (April 3), Bruce and I drove 45 minutes to meet my youngest sister at the Oakville Indian Mounds Education Center in Danville, AL.
My sister drove from South Mississippi to North Alabama to enjoy the beauty of North Alabama. On her drive through the Bankhead National Forest, she admired the dogwood blooming under the tall trees.
The Okaville Indian Mounds Education Center is a beautiful park as well as an education center.
The education center is full of artifacts, most of which belong to Wheeler Pounds.
There was so much to see at the education center. I provided only a few snapshots of the many I took.
We walked around the park, enjoying the lake.
After exploring the Okaville Indian Mounds Education Center, we drove to Decatur, AL. We had lunch at Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q. Then we visited the Historic Decatur Union Depot. We got to watch a train go by. We waved at the engineers and they waved back.
We drove home and my sister and her husband followed us. The fields planted with mustard looked so beautiful.
We walked around Blackberry Homestead then we visited for a while. Before it got dark, my sister and her husband headed back to their hotel in Moulton, AL.
My right foot ached from walking so much. Note to self: don’t walk so much after having plantar warts removed.
