2017 road trip part 1

So it has been quite the ride...I couldn't update the blog as the hotel last night in Tunica had an unsecured wifi. I didn't want to take a chance on it...plus it was painfully slow as I did not want to pay for the upgrade to basic wifi...so here is what I missed posting... On Monday we left the hotel in Louisville, Kentucky and headed to the Jim Beam distillery. We arrived a couple of minutes after the opening time of 9am and most of the tours were already full. So we browsed around and of course bought some bottles and took some pictures. It was a really interesting place with a working miniature still on display. It is the smallest working distillery in the world. Probably less than 3 feet across total. Mostly made of copper. It was a good place to stop learn new things.

We never saw any Amish as it took so long to get on the correct road and by then we were way past wanting to stop. Spent last night in Cambridge, Ohio.So tired by then that the first "restaurant" was a McDonalds and that was fine.  Not sad to leave Ohio. Boring roads, not a whole lot to do...we did stop at a place called Donald's Donuts. They may be famous around there but we were there around 11 and they had two kinds of donuts and a couple of blueberry muffins, all on one tray to show you how few they had. Anyway my pumpkin spiced cinnamon sugar donut was fine. Not as good as Allie's though but Donald's is an award winning donut place there in Zanesville Ohio. Then it was ...

Ready to go! Decent car(2017 Nissan Rogue), blue tooth connected(thank you Patrick), Sirius radio, suitcases/cooler/books/a case of water all packed...onward!

So many details to remember! Just checking if I did this correctly!
