Leaving Memphis - Sept 11

Another sunny day in the USA.  We checked out of our hotel and headed towards Bolivar to get to the Shiloh Military Park.  We watched a movie about the civil war which took place on the 12 and 13 April 1862 and then drove to see the US Military graveyard and then to see the “Hornets Nest” and the “Sunken Road” areas from this war.  This park was very interesting with all the cannons and monuments erected in the places that they had been during the war.

From there we drove through to Adamsville and had lunch at Jack’s Diner – a burger and chicken joint.  We then headed off to Franklin but not before stopping in Hampshire to see a junk shop which had everything and more displayed in the shop as well as on the street. 

Found a Day’s Inn in Franklin and after checking in and unpacking our bags, decided to take a drive to see the town.  Took the wrong turn and ended up doing a whole circle of the town to get somewhere that was just 3 miles away from our hotel!!!  Had supper at the Franklin Chop House , drove round the shopping centre to see the shops and then headed back to our hotel for a good night’s sleep.
