After 3 days in Nashville, it was time to visit state #30 on this trip: Alabama! Just like the famous song by Lynyrd Skynyrd, the sign as we crossed the state border said "Sweet Home Alabama." Visiting "The Rocket City" We were surprised when we saw the size of the massive grounds for the U.S. […]
While we took our time to set off this morning, unfortunately Sheila wasn't feeling great--she had some stomach issues that had started from the previous night. Clearly she'd eaten something that hadn't agreed with her the day before, likely some random item on the ground in downtown Nashville. In typical dog fashion, she can be […]
We'd parked our RV in a free spot near Victory Park in Nashville overnight, and while the parking lot next to us the evening before had been filled with vehicles, it was virtually empty in the morning, as folks had all headed home after their big night out in the city. After breakfast, we met […]
The Love's Travel Stop where we'd parked overnight was a hive of activity the following morning, and our plan ahead of arriving in Nashville was to get a few important errands done. It included printing off a few documents (luckily we had printer), and sending them via FedEx overseas...we got there and the price to […]
Tyler Park, where we'd spent the night, turned out to be a really lovely park to explore the following morning, with people up early to go jogging, running or taking their dogs for a walk. Sheila loved exploring the park as soon as she'd had breakfast, sniffing the grass, kid's playground, and other new smells. […]
We headed to Frankfort to pick up our friend (and star cameo for this part of the trip!) Martynas, noting the charming buildings and museums in Kentucky's capital. We didn't spend time there though, opting to explore the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Bourbon is an American whiskey that has strict production and aging requirements" it needs […]
After picking up our friend Martynas from his hotel in Cincinnati, we ended our visit to the city in the same way that we started it: a trip to Jungle Jim's International Market! However, this time we checked out the second store in Eastgate, rather than the one in Fairfield. We had to unexpectedly drive […]
After a peaceful night's sleep in Kentucky, we drove across the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, the baby blue painted bridge that connects the town of Covington in Kentucky with Cincinnati. Lisette still needs to find a "Welcome to Ohio" sign to take a picture of after missing the teeny sign yesterday, but surprisingly there […]
The RV park was quiet in the morning--it was a Sunday, so perhaps in this neck of the woods, folks had decided to go to church? We saw a couple of kids dressed in what looked like their Sunday's finest, so it could very well have been the case. Or maybe folks were nursing a […]
Another day, another scorcher! What better place to go on a day like this, than the Antique Fan Museum? Who knew there was even an Antique Fan Collectors Association (AFCA)? AFCA operates this Museum, which is at the company headquarters of Fanimation, an international ceiling fan company. To do a tour it's best to call in […]
