Whew.....we've seen a ton of lakes today as we traveled south....actually BIG bodies of water completely covering fields overflowing creeks and rivers in southern IL. Unbelievable after they got 5" of rain in past 24 hours. Been raining most of the day, but traffic has not been too bad. Thinking we would have heavy traffic this holiday weekend, the 1st real sign of that was when we stopped at a Loves truck stop and there was a long line for the women's restroom!
We went to 9:00 Mass at St. Mary's, quick stop at Starbucks for breakfast (love my new app on phone to pay for my treats just like I see so many other customers use)! We loaded up more stuff, took few more things to storage, got the bikes attached to Toad and left around 11:15.
I drove almost 2 hours and we stopped in Paducah, KY around 5 - neither of us like driving in the dark, plus with all the rain and gloomy weather, we were ready!
We've eaten some awesome meals in Paducah - love this city; however, our favorites were not open this Sunday night; so thru Trip Advisor and the hotel clerk's recommendation, we went to
Flamingo Row....funky place with neat décor and very good food!
The tree was WOW!
Many flamingoes
Pretty tropical decor
Good to be back in our room and out of the rain and wind! Lots of weird, scary weather coming
tomorrow compliments of "Goliath"!
Be safe....and have a good last week of December!
