Road Trip!

So the family and I recently did a little road-tripping, and I made the request to stop at one of my favorite places from when I was younger. That amazing place is South of the Border! Or a rest stop between North and South Carolina with a Mexican theme. Is it garish? Yes. A little gaudy? Possibly! But it is the one and only. I mean seriously, what other rest stop area has a giant sombrero that you can climb a million steps up to so that you can get a scenic view of the highway and some pine trees? What other rest stop has a reptile house, a hat store, and giant statues of zoo animals?

WELCOME!

The South of the Border main man is Pedro. Here he is as a giant letting you know where you are.

Another Pedro a few stories tall!

Lots of South of the Border signs! Because you might forget where you are....

The giant sombrero in the back, and another Pedro.

South of the Border is definitely one thing that cannot be found anywhere else but the United States.
