Road Trip 2009 - Vacationing & Fun with my Daughter!

Last year Kasey and I went on a road trip to Mt. Rushmore, it was a short 4-5 day trip, where we stopped and saw the weird, the whacky & fun oddities along the way. We had so much fun, we said we should make it a yearly tradition! SO, this is our 2nd Annual Road Trip. We had planned to go to northern WI and the upper peninsula of MI, but the weather reports call for rain, cold weather, and possibly even SNOW, so last night we made the decision to head south. We decided to go to TN, heading for the Chattanooga area, and Memphis area too...as well as any points inbetween home and there that look like fun!

We didn't have much time to research much since we decided late on going to TN, but we stopped at a couple of places today before settling in for the night at a hotel in Louisville, KY. There are several fun places to explore in this area tomorrow before we start heading south again toward TN.


Here are some photos from today ... Kasey in the car as we travel...

...some signs advertising Fair Oaks Farm, there were a lot of interesting signs advertising this farm, so we just HAD to stop and see what that was all about..*L*





Kasey looks like she's picking the colorful cow's nose in this one...

















..And she thinks her tractor's sexy here...*L*



It was a short break from driving, but we didn't stay long....



We went on down the road in search of more interesting things... turned off here, looking for what we were told was "a grave in the middle of a road", and "Jesus crucified on the side of a barn"... we didn't find either thing, but Kasey took some photos of some of the old town architecture. So, so far, we haven't seen much... we headed off into the sunset...


...and decided to stop for the night in Louisville, KY, where we have a list of several places we want to try to find in the morning... checked into our hotel, found an "authentic mexican restaurant, where we had a drink while waiting to get our dinner to go.



Looking forward to MORE fun tomorrow seeing sites here and then on down the road toward Chattanooga....
More to come...
