So, we had this last minute chance to get away for a couple of well earned days off. We chose Land Between the Lakes/ Paducah KY. We love it down there, always so relaxing.
We had all had a crazy June so just the drive itself, taking the two lanes down, was a nice chance just to breathe.
at Miss Patti's Settlement.
At the Elk and Bison Prairie:

What all we really did: Friday, First stop was IHOP--Robert's one request, two meals at IHOP--then we went to Miss Patti's, went to the Elk and Bison Prairie, visited a general store and antique place that was really cool and had just about every imaginable soda pop that is still being bottled (sorry to my friend looking for Tip, I looked, no go). Went back to Patti's for dinner, went back to the hotel for a nap and then to the drag strip to see the drag races. We got there though and there was a dirt track across the road, so guess where we ended up? It was the 4th so we saw fireworks at the races.
On Saturday we went back to IHOP, then took a tour of Broadbents Gourmet Foods, they cure bacon and hams there, the place smelled WONDERFUL!! Brought home Ham, ends for green beans, as well as some bacon. We then drove back to Paducah, took in downtown, and the train museum and then headed back for home. We stopped in Mt. Vernon for dinner. We had all these places that we thought sounded good, all of which were closed. I don't really ever want to stop to eat in Mt. Vernon again. We ended up at Chili's. They have changed their menu and none of us were impressed. We ended up eating overpriced hamburgers. The trip as a whole was wonderful though.
