Monday - November 29

Said our good byes to everyone....Annette and Maeve were off to school; Luke woke up with a sore throat, so he's home today.    Beautiful day for traveling - sunny skies and 40's.    Traffic was pretty heavy and saw more RV's/campers heading north rather than south???    We shared the driving and covered 330 miles with 349  left to Bloomington for tomorrow.

Stopped for gas in Marion, NC, Starbucks in Knoxville, TN and lunch at Arby's in Mt. Vernon, KY.    No inside dining as seems to be the case more and more for fast-food places - drive-thru only, so we ate in the car.

Arrived in Georgetown, KY at 2:10 and settled in.    

Something I meant to mention last night - Ryan's pizza oven bakes a pizza in ONE MINUTE!    Unbelievably fast how this works.   If anyone is thinking about one of these for a gift or yourself....it's a winner!!!

Luke is wrapped around the tree - all boy!!!

Tonight we met Theresa (Mark's sister) and Mike from West Chicago at Cattleman's Roadhouse for delicious dinner - the guys had steak and Theresa and I had whitefish.    They even had a very nice salad bar (hadn't seen one of them in a long time).    So good to catch up.    As we are heading back to IL, they are heading to NC and will be with our kiddos for the next 10 days or so.
