Road Trip 2009 - Day 1 - Mile 755 - Padukah, KY

Hello,

We left home about 5:45 this morning and arrived at Padukah, Kentucky at about 6:30 p.m. The day went well. We had a great breakfast at the Norske Nook in Osseo, Wisconsin. We split a lefsa wrapped omlet and a piece of sour cream raisen pie. We have a 12 volt cooler in the car so we had sandwiches, pop, water, and snacks that took us through the day. We checked into Comfort Suites in Padukah and then went and had soup and salad at the local Cracker Barrel.

On the way down we started to listen to the Charles Dickens audio book, Great Expectations. We are feeling so cultured although we have only listened to 5 of the 15 CDs in the book.

Tomorrow we are stopping at the National Quilt Museum in Padukah and then drive on to Nashville. We are planning to go to the Grand Old Opry tomorrow night and on Wednesday start driving around the perimeter of Kentucky and Tennessee. We will end up in Memphis on Saturday or Sunday and start for home on Monday.

We expect to have pictures for our blog tomorrow.
