Day 2- New Orleans
We had a bright and early wake up call this morning… Well more like dark and early. We woke up around 6:30, filling the vans with our sleepy faces. Once the gym was cleaned up, we hit the road on our first destination of the day-Auburn University!
We stopped at the great Auburn University and got research
from Tristan Harrell who presented on the history of the school.
We, of course, had to stop at Walmart!!
We donned some auburn memorabilia and some other accessories.
Our next stop was the Mississippi welcome center before
making the last leg of the trip to New Orleans.
