Our Move- Day 1: KY to TN

This was supposed to be our shortest day but started out as our LONGEST day.  We could not seem to get out of Kentucky.  We started the morning early --- packing anything the movers hadn’t packed into the truck the day before and headed out.  We had a few stops along the way. First up was Abraham Lincoln’s Birthplace.  It was a neat memorial and park and so glad we stopped.

The next stop was Princeton, Ky.  Adam’s Dad was born in this little city and we had never been there so we decided to check it out.  It was your typical small town Kentucky town.  

Next, which was supposed to be a quick 20 minute drive to Cadiz, KY where Adam has a great uncle, turned into our first headache of the day- def. not a quick 20 minute drive. We could not find his uncle’s house for the life of us. We tried following the GPS- major FAIL and we tried following specific instructions directly from his uncle.  Let’s just say by the time we got to Uncle Bill Butler’s house we were pretty frustrated.  But we are glad we made the stop. He showed us where Adam's Dad and grandparents once lived and their property. It was neat to see.

We then headed out to Tennessee- well we tried. With a bridge closed it only added to our time and frustrations.  We finally figured out how to get out of Kentucky and we made it to Memphis Tennessee. We had plans to check out the city a bit or at the least get some yummy Memphis BBQ but by the time we made it to our hotel it was too late to do anything and we were too tired to want to go out. So a stop at the fast food places across from our hotel was dinner. We were def. ready to get a good nights sleep-- Glad that day was over.
