February

Shower progress
On our way to Georgia we had some rv trouble.  The electric to the rv (lights and all) stopped working.  We spent the night in a Walmart parking lot since it was after dark and not safe to drive.  Found someone to fix it the next day and were able to finally get there.

We toured the Hay House in Macon, GA.
From the website: "One of Georgia’s most historic houses and distinguished structures, the Johnston-Felton-Hay House in Macon was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974. Construction began in 1855 and continued into 1859. The House was built in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, a marked contrast to the Greek Revival architecture of the antebellum period.

The 18,000-square-foot mansion spans four levels and is crowned by a two-story cupola. Commissioned by imaginative owners and constructed by the most skillful workers of the time, its technological amenities were unsurpassed in the mid-19th century. When constructed, the now historic house had hot and cold running water, central heat, gas lighting, a speaker-tube system, in-house kitchen, and an elaborate ventilation system."
