The last day on the road

One week ago yesterday we hit the road for our first ever September adventure. No school calendar for the first time since I was 5. No harvest yet. Just some free time with no important events on the calendar, so we left home and went on the road for a few days.

Destinations?

Wooster, Ohio.  The Wayne County Fair.  Dinner with Dale and Karen. Lodi Outlets. Smuckers. A movie - Scully.  A stop to see Dad at the cemetery.  Spending Sunday with Greta and Kent. Taking a box of Lerchs Donuts to Mom.

Memphis, Tennessee - Graceland.  Rock and Soul Hall of Fame.  Sun Studio. Mississippi River. HUGE Bass Pro Shop.  Tunica casinos.  Hollywood Cafe.  Beale Street and lunch at BB Kings. Gus's Famous Chicken.  A  surprise dinner with Tina Reinhold at Corkys BBQ

The drive north - from Olive Branch, Mississippi to Memphis, through Arkansas, through Missouri, to Illinois.

Cairo, ILL - when the Mississippi River meets the Ohio River and merges into one

Paducah, KY- the National Quilt Museum, Hancock Fabrics (very disappointed in this)

Today is the last day.  Plans?  Riverfront in Paducah.  Maybe Cave-in-Rock and maybe Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Forest, then onward to the north

More later.  Typing on the iPad has been a challenge, plus I can't add any pictures.

Good trip? Absolutely! Lots of fun. Lots of memories. No stress.  Just relaxation. Take it as it comes.
