About 'city of tuscaloosa'|Tuscaloosa - Shades of Oklahoma City
It was the summer of 2005. My children were 17, 14 and 12. I had very little extra money, but I had friends in Texas and New Mexico who suggested we come visit. A cross country trip! We'd drive most of the day, stay at cheap hotels, and spend time with friends. I got a ton of maps and that was it - we were doing it! The plan was: Harrisonburg, VA - to visit James Madison University (my daughter didn't like it); Chattanooga, TN; Baton Rouge, LA; College Station, TX; Tijeras, NM; Colorado Springs, CO; Kansas City, MO; Indianapolis, IN; and home to Pennsylvania. Now, July is hot, and it's really hot in the south. But I refused to turn on the air conditioning in the car. (It was the summer gas prices would never be the same.) When we stopped in Tuscaloosa to eat lunch, we were nasty. Sweating, and mean. Being out in the sun felt like being broiled in an oven. When we got back in the car, I turned on the air, and peace overtook us. We saw Baton Rouge only weeks before Katrina hit (that always seemed eery to me later). My friends took us on a tour of the best cities in Texas, Austin and San Antonio. A little flat, but other than that, we loved the cowboy hats and boots. My NM friends took us on a tour of Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Los Alamos. We saw Tinkertown Museum, where trinkets and old glass bottles, cans, you name it, made a place to walk through and view art. Nearby, the Sandia Mountains were an awesome sight to behold. Mountains upon mountains. Our last major stop was Colorado Springs, and we walked among the Garden of the Gods. Looking up at the rocks surrounding us, the sun formed a halo radiating behind them, and I understood the name. We headed back east through Kansas (where there is a whole lot of nothing for miles on end), Missouri (we stopped to see the Gateway Arch - humungous!), Indiana, Ohio, and finally, Pennsylvania. We were ready for it to be over when it was, but I felt satisfied my children had experienced our scenic and fascinating country. |
