If you’ve ever driven on I-95 in the Carolinas, you’ve seen the billboards. Almost as prevalent as the signs for Lookout Mountain, they grab your attention. On our trip to Wilmington, NC, to pick up my new car last week, I gave in to the signs, and we stopped…at South of the Border, “America’s favorite highway oasis & gateway to the southeast”. I had very low expectations of what we would find; I figured more was spent on the signs than on the actual “attraction”. And I was not proven wrong. Granted, we only stopped for a photo-op, not for food, lodging or even to buy a souvenir. We meandered throughout the aisles of tacky gifts, used the restroom and took a bunch of photos…. at least the bathrooms were clean and the photo taking lots of fun for all of us!
This is an entry for Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday.
I know exactly where you are talking about….driven by plenty of times and was always tempted to stop but never did…next time! Love the family shots and glad you are enjoying that new vehicle of yours 🙂
It is fun, even if just for a stop to stretch our legs and take a few funny photos. The van has a few issues (it is quite old!), but we’ve found a great VW shop nearby! First fix — make the gas gauge functional before I end up running out of gas!
I’ve read about this! I could be wrong, but I believe it is the world’s biggest…something. Largest rest-stop maybe? Anyway, I love the pictures. Glad you had fun!
I’m a little behind this week catching up on last week’s Photo Friday picks, but glad to be here! Nice pics!
