Greenville, Alabama

Our next stop is Pensacola, Florida, to meet Donald and Anna for the Snowball Derby again this year.  Our reservations don't begin until Wednesday so we were going to be able to take our time driving to Pensacola.

Before leaving on Monday though, we wanted to try to get our car emissions test and car tags renewed since we would not be in Nashville when they would be expiring.  The County website indicated that we could renew our car tags as early as 90 days ahead of time.  Unfortunately, all the people whose car tags had just expired in November were in line for emissions testing this morning too. 

After about an hour wait, we got the emissions test done and drove to the County Clerk's office to wait in another line for about 20 minutes only to find out that the office did not have the stickers for February yet.  Oh well.  At least we got the emissions test done and we can renew the tags online.

After stopping by to visit my mom for a few minutes, we headed back to the KOA, hooked up the car and were on the road by a little after 11 am.  Other than a little rain in Birmingham, we had a nice drive and decided to stay at Sherling Lake Park in Greenville, Alabama, for a couple of nights.

The park is a very nice city park with several full hookup sites.  We had site #1.



The site even has a deck with a nice view of the woods.


It rained some on Tuesday but stopped long enough for Chuck to wash the motorhome and the car (which were filthy).  While he worked on the motorhome, I went for a walk down to the lake.



I found this walking trail that went by the lake.


The walking trail went by an old dock.  The light fog on the water and the Spanish moss hanging from the trees gave it kind of an eerie look (plus the black-and-white photography). 


With all the excitement of the past week, it was kind of nice to just do nothing for a couple of days.  And Sherling Lake Park was a very nice place to do nothing.  :)
