Me and Tina planned our Europe trip for 2 years, We saved very hard and went on our trip doing everything we wanted to NO BUDGET.  We designed our own trip and made all of our own reservations. T his could have only been possible by the internet. If anyone has a question about train travel or Ferry travel please ask.

I awoke at 7:30 this morning and figured that Judy would already be up, showered, dressed, and tapping her toe waiting for me to pack the car and get on the road for her Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky.  She was still asleep!  But it didn’t take her long to awaken to my noises and we were pretty well ready to go in short period.  Down to a cold breakfast at the hotel, packed the car, checked out and on the road. We had about 90 miles to go to get to Paducah, including cros...

We made it back to Ashland and we met up with the rest of the family over at Aunt Ellen’s. Aunt Ellen and Uncle Tom’s place was the gathering place, because they were more or less the senior member’s of the family and had a large home. Uncle Delbert was too feeble to much hosting and Aunt Ann & Uncle Bill had moved into an apartment years ago. When we got back, Dad let me know that he want to visit with Aunt Opal. Aunt Opal is his sister-in-law. She had married his brother, Jimmy. S...

This is the 2nd long camping trip we have taken as a family.  This trip my husband and I are traveling with our girls who are 4(almost 5 but tells everybody she is 6), 3 and 17 months.  We have done several weekend trips but these long ones can prove stressful at times (no baby gates, letting a 3 and 4 year old share a bed and a 17 month old who thinks she is as big as her sisters:-)!  These are also the  trips that show you how much your kids really are growing ...

We finally purchased our first Travel Trailer. We purchased it over E-Bay and Traveled 1500 miles round trip to Reading, Pa to pick it up.  Its so hard to find trailer in good shape at a resonable price with all the amenities this one has.  We are cleaning out, loading it up getting ready for a great summer of traveling. We are done Tenting We had to much stuff and took to long to set up and take down.  It got to be a burden.  We figure we can travel more as the only thing...

Today my travels took me through Paducah, Kentucky. My parents had told me to stop through at the Museum of the American Quilt Society. I was apprehensive, but my parents have been good to me and I figured it couldn't be worse than visiting the museum of the Erie canal as a child. At any rate, it was $8, but it also housed some amazing quilts. I had no idea how cool quilts could look. They had some very intricate traditional style quilts, but also some that were more murals in fabric, and oth...

Tim picked me and my big ole' suitcase up early this morning at my hostel, our mission which i forced Tim to do before we left Nashville: to tick Kentucky off my states to see list. I begged him to drive me to K Tuc and he kindly relented.  We drove north about 45 miles and stopped at the border and i took some photos, Tim took some of me hugging the sign ha with me looking like a loony tourist with lots of trucks rolling past giving me strange look. We drove on to Bowling Green as it was th...

All of us agreed to get an early start on Saturday morning.  The weather was cooperating and we needed to take advantage of our good fortune.  A very uneventful day.  Traveling on the busy interstate is not our preferred route, but we didn't have a choice.  Making miles was our main objective so we rode tank to tank, not stopping anywhere inbetween.  One tank of gas usually stretches to 200 miles at speeds of 75 MPH and up, so we were stopping about every th...

May 27 - June 3:  Tampa to Grand Cayman to Cozumel to Belize to Costa Maya and back to Tampa.     This was my 2nd Carnival cruise and this was by far the better.  The ship was newer than the first one I travelled one and bigger.  We had really friendly and attentive waiters for our evening meals, courteous crew throughout, clean room and bathroom daily, great meal options, lots of space....really it was just great.  Just what I needed for a special trip...

We took our Grandson to the fair and he had a ball. The Fair runs for about 2 weeks and has every kind of contest, rides and displays you could think of. Just to mention a view, Quilts, rooster crowing contest, pipe smoking contest, best maters, hay squash, tobacco. It take a good 2 days to see and do it all. In the Large new south wing, Every county in Kentucky has a booth set up so you can see just what ALL of Kentucky is all about this is one of our favoarite place to go, The South Wing isit

A surprisingly fun place!

Our back yard is right out the back door. It's always there and what a great place to go without driving anywhere. We have a large pool thats 6 foot deep (special Liner) deck, horse shoes, corn hole. Its in a massive overhaul right now cutting down trees putting up a privacy fence, a shelter, outdoor kitchen, waterfall that goes into a pond with fish, yes it will take awhile but its a coming

Wax is such a wonderfull place, if you camp during the week most of the time you will be the only one there in AREA "C". There is no water or electric hook up its mainly for tents but each pad had a picnic table, fire pit and a nice flat space for your tent or 2, They have hot showers and restrooms which are cleaned daily. a nice play areaq for kids and a handicapped PAD.  Area "c" is like a penensala so most of the sights you have water for fishing or parking your boat. One side is on t...

5/26-27/06   Sikeston, MO to Paducah, KY to Bowling Green, KY   Continued on the curvy road to Paducah this morning.  Very important to be there before the holiday weekend started so that I could spend some time with Sally Terry.  I have a Prodigy Longarm Quilt Machine that we purchased last fall from Sally and her daughter Sarah.  She offers a two-day class with the machine if you buy from them.  Not knowing for sure when we would be in KY (if ever) I wasnâ€...
