As J and I drove through Franklin, Wednesday afternoon, I was ooohing and aahhing as we saw beautifully restored homes at every turn.

We returned, Thursday morning, to see more of these homes.  We also took a drive on the Natchez Trace Parkway.

More about Historic Franklin and our Tennessee journey, next week.

We’ll drive north tomorrow (Friday), hoping to see more of Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois, before crossing the Mississippi at St Louis, for our return home.

I hope to post more Franklin photos, Sunday or Monday.  Perhaps later next week I’ll have a few photos of the Natchez Trace Parkway, Kentucky, and Illinois.

Have a wonderful weekend.
