Ed's Elder Escort Service - Part 2 - Day 2

Another day on the road. We left the hotel about 8 a.m. this morning and went to a Waffle House for breakfast. It was about 9:15 when we finally got on the road. We took a different route and wandered through parts of northwestern Mississippi. It is actually quite pretty.

We made it to Whitehouse, TN just north of Nashville for lunch. We ate at a Cracker Barrel. It was what you'd expect at a Cracker Barrel. We continued north into Kentucky. We lost an hour when we crossed back into eastern time zone. Since we got a bit of a late start and with the time change, we didn't make it to the Bourbon Trail until the tours had ended for the day. We'll save the distillery tours for another trip.

We continued through most of Kentucky and stopped at a Hampton Inn in Winchester, KY about 20 miles east of Lexington. We ate at the Cantuckee Diner for dinner. I had a fried bologna sandwich. It was truly a great dining experience. You'd expect Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives to visit it.

We have 428 miles to Portage. We should be there tomorrow evening. The trip is going well and it is much quicker now that we have the chair for Francie. He doesn't always like using it, but it is a lot easier on him and a lot quicker.
