Early start this morning, we had a four hour drive to our first stop, plus we lose an hour going back into Eastern Time Zone (in Kentucky). Stopped about 11:30 for a country breakfast at Cracker Barrel restaurant, plenty to eat, including grits, which I tried but won't bother again (bit like a porridge). Next up was Abraham Lincoln birthplace national park. We saw a movie, exhibits, and a full size replica of the inside of his two room cottage birthplace home. Apparently it was the usual type of frontier home and his family was middle class. What they thought was the original cottage has been moved and a building put around it, that looks a bit like the Lincoln memorial in Washington D.C., forty years later they found out it wasn't the actual cottage!
Next we continued on to Bardstown, the home of bourbon. Lots of distilleries in this area doing the tour and tasting thing. we stopped and looked at the museum in one place but didn't bother with the tasting . . . beer is our thing.
Then continued on to Lawrenceburg for overnight. It has been nice and sunny all day.
