We finally made it out of Elkhart Indiana on December 9 at night after they finished our RV remodel. One that was supposed to take 2 weeks took a month. A cabinet that was supposed to be one priced turned out to be 3 times more. They were supposed to install it in 2 hours and it took 3 days. Okay enough of my ranting. We're done finally and head out after a little snow falls the previous days, south to Indianapolis. Not a great town in my opinion but we wanted to do the INDY 500 museum. So we stopped and became WALMARTIANS for a night. Which means we stay in a Walmart parking lot so we don't have to find an RV park and pay just to sleep. Hey we can live self contained for a good 3-5 days if we have water.
Anyway finished in Indianapolis and travel south to Louisville, Kentucky. A town rich with history and beautiful architecture. We truly loved this place. We thought this was where Tom's Great Grandfather had lived but after some research at the Library come to find out he actually loved in Newport which is north and east of where we were. It was interesting to do some genealogical work on finding out more about his family though.
We visited Churchill Downs, Kentucky Derby Museum, The Brown Hotel, and Jim Beam distillery. I highly recommend all of these especially Jim Beam because if you do a tour you get 2 shots after the tour of special label Jim Beam. On the cold day we were there warmed us right up.
Another perk while we were there was visiting with a long ago friend of mine from Jr high and high school, she calls Louisville home.
After being there for a week we heading South yesterday toward Nashville. We thought this would be a good place for Christmas. Staying at Walmart again we dropped anchor and took off to look around a little and found this place to be a bit of a tourist trap. All the shows are booked or dark for Christmas so there's not much to do. So we will be taking off here in a few hours and then heading south and east to Chattanooga then on to Atlanta.
Hopefully more to update you all on with some pictures when we get to Florida.
