Cavedog Running

Well, we made it home at 5AM this morning after a more than 800 mile drive from Elizabethtown, KY. After getting camp packed up and loaded, we headed down the road to Cave City to meet up with some of our Kentucky family to have lunch at Cracker Barrel. We left camp at 12PM. On the way there, we crossed into the Central Time Zone and both Jenny's and my mouth dropped as we realized that we were meeting at 1PM cst which meant we would be waiting for an hour. Everyone showed up and we had a great lunch (thanks Howard and Teresa)!! Everything worked out perfectly as we got to Atlanta just after dark which is good because the drive through Georgia and Florida is kind of ugly. We also missed the nasty storms going through central Florida.

Unfortunately, my Powerball tickets did nothing for me, so we grudgingly left Cave City at 4PM. We entertained ourselves looking out for barns for Jenny to take pictures of and looking at the pretty scenery. Kentucky moves up to the top of my list as one of my favorite places to drive. I love North Carolina, but the mountain roads do get a little tiring after a while. I told Jenny that I would have no problem living up there.

I got some Mega Millions tickets, so maybe we will win and be forced to go back.
