Jarrod had an Optimist convention to attend in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Where?
Sawyer and Miller drew the lucky slots for the FIVE hour car drive, and found TEN reasons to travel and visit Owensboro, Kentucky!
10. The world's oldest (300 years) and largest (100 feet) Sassafras tree (natural ingredient for rootbeer - the boys' favorite!)
(Pointing out the lightening rod to help prevent lightening strikes)
9. Arrive a little late at the car rental and get a free SUV upgrade!
8. Local catfish fresh from the Kentucky waterways!
7. Hillbilly artifacts in abundance!
6. Swimming fun at the hotel before bedtime...
...and a bed to themselves, including the cartoon channel!
5. Moonlight Barbeque, the best in Kentucky!
4. The largest bourbon bucket in the world!
3. The home of one of the 22 burned Civil War courthouses, a drive-thru shoe hospital, home to a Confederate Congressional Medal of Honor awardee; and home of "Old Drum," made infamous in the "Tribute to a Dog" court case;
2. Home of T.D.'s Tuff Decisions, unique gift shop!
And the #1 reason to travel to Owensboro?
Lots of practice in "quiet boy" entertainment.

My favorite was silently rejoicing that the records in that court house were SAVED.

What a fun trip, can Sis. B. and I go along next time? I see more smiles than I can count!
Oh what fun and to have special time with Dad. Glad they are enjoying themselves--certainly looks that way.
Your family always does the best trips.
