We enjoyed a midnight swim and soak in the hot tub - that put our 4 a.m. departure back just a bit. We pulled out at 6:35. Our first stop was in Bowling Green, KY where we visited the National Corvette Museum. (Couldn't help but think that we really should have had Jan and Karen there with us!) The guys ate it up! It is the largest museum of any car brand in the U.S. and filled with some really nice cars along with one that was absolutely hideous! From there we drove through Louisville and some really goofy traffic. We would travel along at a nice clip on I-71 only to have to slam on our brakes and sit on the interstate for minutes at a time. As we progressed there were no signs of any accidents or issues. The only thing we could figure was that there was rubbernecking at a car pulled to the shoulder. Again for about 5 minutes up to speed only to be brought to a halt or creeping along. Don't want to hear about bad Memphis drivers - hang out with Sunday drivers on I-71 for a real experience. As we passed through Louisville the boys were ready to call it a day when they spotted a skate park. I'll give them credit; it was impressive, but I'm not sure what they thought they were going to use since we have no skates or skateboards with us! :) Very interesting and pretty architecture in Louisville and Cincinnati, OH. We had much fun straining to see out all sides of the truck to take in the sights. We are trying to catch up on some sleep tonight in Columbus, OH after our 600+ mile trip and will begin a new adventure tomorrow. (Only approximately 3000 miles to go!)
