Days 2 and 3 Bruceton Mills WV to Georgetown KY

Hi Everyone,

Boy it has been really hard to get internet access to update this blog so I guess I will say you will all have to be patient to find out where we are hiding.  Day 2 was not very exciting.  We had another long day of driving (not as bad as Day 1) but still no fun stops were to be had.

What we did do was to make it to KENTUCKY!  As a little kid, for some reason I have always wanted to go to Kentucky and now I have been there!  I am happy to say that outside of Lexington is exactly how I pictured it except I thought the fences would be white, they were brown instead!  Lots of horses!

We decided it was safe to stay in the tent so we went to the Kentucky Horse Park Campground and reserved a site for two nights.











This is our home away from home.  Jeff really enjoyed it, but boy was it hot.  90 degrees all day and the pool is not open yet!  We did not have a campfire, but did play cards in the tent before bed.

On Monday, we drove into Lexington to see what it was like.  Very much a college town, some cool fountains and Dairy Queen for Lunch!  Thats our kind of lunch,

We spent the afternoon taking a tour of the Toyota Factory.  The largest one in the USA, it was VERY cool.  Mostly they make Camrys, Lexus and Avalons.  The place was enormous, tour was over 1.5 hours and was done via a tram.  We got to see the whole process from the sheet metal to the driving the car out of the factory!  They would not let us take pictures so here is our Toyota Highlander that we love and it doubles as a towel dryer!



I close out this blog with a picture of police horses that came through just a few minutes ago looking for some lost dogs.  The horses were beautiful.









So there you have it.  Don't be surprised if it takes a while for us to catch you up to us, we are at the mercy of good internet.  I will tell you that tomorrow we will be in St. Louis and we are staying at a hotel because it is suppose to rain there on Wednesday.  Hopefully I will chat with you then.  Thanks for following us, we love you.

Day 34, 35 36 Thur Fri Sat June 15, 16 and 17

We made it home! After dropping Sara off to the airport at 6:30 am, Jeff and I hit the road.  We drove 1900 + miles in three days!  It was a VERY long ride and my butt was really killing me!!  We were more than ready to stop living out of our car! Reflections of our trip: I am more than grateful to have spent this time with Jeff.  I feel that this trip has allowed us to make memories that we will forever keep in our hearts.  Yes there were times we were homesick, and tired of each other.  Yes it was hard at times to be living out of our car, but there were more times where we laughed and explored this great country.  It is surreal to think we did it, it is hard to remember all the things we did, but over time I am sure we will share stories here and there of what we did. One of my favorite stories happened near the end of the trip.  We were at a construction zone on a road where we had to wait for the lead car to take us through the construc...

Day 33 Wed June 13

Today was the day that we were to drop Sara off at the airport....sad sad day.  We had decided to go see the Badlands before she needed to be at the airport.  Along the way we came across a place where you could feed the prairie dogs!  Who doesn't like to feed prairie dogs?  So of course we stopped and Jeff had the best time of all of us!  He was the first brave one to let them eat out of his hands. Then onto the badlands.  The kids went for a couple of walk/hikes.  Jeff was like a little boy climbing high on the peaks and jumping!  Loved watching them. We then stopped at Wall Drug for lunch.  It was not a very exciting trip as it was just filled with tourist stuff, but we did have our free ice water! On our way to the airport, we found out that Sara's flight was delayed which meant she could not catch her connecting flight!  YEAH for us!!  The only flights available at this point were for tomorrow morning...

Day 32 Tuesday June 12

I thought today was going to be tough.  We had to drive from Yellowstone to Custer State Park.  Over 300 miles.  Spent most of the day in the car, eating at Pizza Hut for lunch was the highlight. Until.....we made it to the Needles Highway.  Both Jeff and Sara took turns driving, the road was windy, narrow and lots of skinny tunnels to go through! From the Needles Highway we did the wildlife loop in Custer.  We saw baby buffalo, prairie dogs, the burros (although they were very far away), some deer and some antelope. After all that fun, we checked into our hotel which was right down the street from Mount Rushmore.  We went to the evening program and watched them light up the faces. All and all it was a busy but fun day!
