Vacation Misc.

I have just a few final thoughts about our vacation that I thought you might find entertaining. They didn't really fit in the other posts.

I told you our hotel was right by the Ohio River...and there was a HUGE bridge right there. We crossed it a few times into Kentucky to eat. I loved the architecture of the bridge!

 The sign on the gas station where we stopped just over the Kentucky line. We had not, in fact, et yet.

 Friday evening, after we toured Spencer County, Ryan was in the mood for BBQ, so he did some research, and he found this place in Owensboro, Kentucky, about 20 minutes away from us. We made the trip!

 The food really was very good, and the people were so polite...yes ma'am and no sir. Loved it. I ordered a little sammich with chips but Ryan...well...he was hungry. Here are his platters:

 {For the record, that is a broccoli casserole, not a giant helping of guacamole!!!}

Partway through our meal, our waiter came by, looked at Ryan's progress and said "Did you want me to bring the other half of that bird?"

Not, perhaps, our proudest consumer moment. Ryan did decline...and he also finished the food. No, SERIOUSLY. Finished it.

 When the waiter came back and looked at his empty plates, he said, "I've never seen anybody clean that up so fast."

Again. Not our proudest moment.

Ryan was grateful.

 In case you're wondering how Ryan does laundry.

 Saturday night, after our trip to Holiday World, we were in the mood for Mexican food, so we went BACK to Owensboro and found The Real Hacienda...which made me wonder about the apparently fake Hacienda I've been eating at for lo these many years?

Ryan paused to play with the mariachi band outside...

 He hadn't had a big meal in a while...

 Yep. That's two nights in a row.

 Sunday morning, our last day of vacation, we made our way to the river bank to have church for two before we came home. It was so lovely out there. Hot, for sure, but peaceful and serene.

 On our way home...we stopped at a Sonic. Oh, oh, oh. How I love my Sonic.

Vacation...done! What a great weekend. Thankful for this time away...and thankful for you putting up with the recap!!
