Pierre Family Road Trip Part 1 ~Bham, Memphis, Sallisaw~

As we embarked on our family road trip from Birmingham, I couldn't wait to see what adventures lay ahead.

Our first stop was Memphis, where we had booked an Airbnb that was perfect for our family's needs. We wanted a place that would feel like home and have ample space for us to relax and unwind after a day of traveling. Plus, we needed a space that accommodated both Azure and Chico, and we were happy to find an Airbnb that met all of our needs.

While in Memphis, we had the pleasure of meeting Josh's friend, Fotos.Algo, who is a talented photographer that creates NFTs on the Algorand blockchain. We enjoyed catching up with him and seeing his latest work.

As we left Memphis, we drove through some interesting neighborhoods before passing through Pottsville, Arkansas. Although we only briefly mentioned it in this video, we actually have a separate video and blog post about our visit to Pottsville, where we explored the historic Potts Inn.

After a long day of driving, we finally arrived at a KOA cabin in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. One of the reasons we chose to stay at a KOA is because they are very accommodating to families traveling with pets and children. Chico loved the pet-friendly amenities, and Azure enjoyed the playground and jumping pillow.

The next morning, we continued on our journey and drove through Checotah, Oklahoma, the hometown of Carrie Underwood. We stopped for some delicious donuts and coffee and even explored the local cemetery, as we enjoy learning about the history of the places we visit.

Our final destination for the day was Ray Trent Park in Del City, Oklahoma, just outside of Oklahoma City. It was a beautiful park, and we loved exploring the unique foliage of the area. We found it to be a perfect spot for us to relax and enjoy nature after a long day of driving.

As we settled in for the night, we couldn't wait to see what adventures awaited us in the rest of our road trip, including the OU football game. We always enjoy exploring new places as a family, and this road trip was no exception.
