Wilson's Commissary
31 maj, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Becki said when we go to Laurel, we HAVE to eat at Wilson's Commissary!
I'm so glad we took her advice.
It was a fun restaurant, colourful, upbeat and busy. Friendly servers and great food. 10/10 recommend.

Dag 4
A day in Laurel Mississippi
31 maj, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
We saw so much today!
We started our morning with coffee on the screened porch, and then a walk through downtown Laurel before our tour with Bolton Hometown Tours. DJ was an amazing guide, 100% recommend.
The open-air tour gave a peek at some of the homes and business highlights, which we then spent the afternoon exploring.
We visited the Hellfighters USA Motorcycle Shop, stopped to see the Mississippi Blues Trail marker, and then the Leontyne Price Music Park - an opera singer who received more than 20 Grammy Awards and received the longest recorded standing ovation - 45 minutes! The Music Park was next to the Outdoor Art Gallery, with some fantastic local muralists.
We asked DJ from Bolton Tours for his bbq recommendations, and he gave us his top 3... we decided on #2 Hog Heaven for dinner - so good 👍Läs mer

Bowling Green to Laurel
30 maj, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
I can't believe we saw so much today! We travelled through Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, and finally arrived at our farmhouse airbnb in Laurel well after dark.

Started the day in Bowling Green KY, first stop at Harley Davidson to pick up some souvenirs, and then onto the Interstate 65 to Franklin TN (after a quick drive through Franklin KY before we realized it was the wrong state!). Loved Franklin, so quaint! We had lunch at Merridee's, picked up cookies at Whitney's and of course found a mural.
Back on I65 towards Birmingham, and stopped for a stretch at the Gov. Guy Hunt Rest Stop... Alabama wins for the best rest stop.
We opted to push through to Mississippi instead of stopping for dinner, and picked up pizza and snacks at Aldi's.
We are settled in with drinks and TV, pajamas and quilts. Happy.Läs mer

Whitney's Cookies
30 maj, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
We stumbled across Whitney's Cookies while looking for murals. This was an unexpected surprise!

Whitney auditioned for Masterchef at just 22 years old, setting her on career path that she couldn't have imagined.
During the 13 years of being featured at events and cooking on stages and in kitchens across the world, Whitney’s most requested dessert item was her brownie cookie. Its popularity sparked the idea for Whitney to create her own cookie company so that everyone could enjoy her cookies, and with that she launched Whitney’s Cookies.Läs mer

Merridee's Breadbasket
30 maj, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Lunchtime in Franklin, we were hoping for a cozy bakery or deli - we found both at Merridee's.

Merridee’s Breadbasket has been featured in Southern Living Magazine, on the Food Network’s “Best of Baker’s Show” on Nashville Public Television’s “Tennessee Crossroads” and has received the Sizzle Award from Southern Exposure Magazine for being voted Best Bakery in Williamson County… three years in a row!
We can see why Merridee’s continues to be a favorite place for local folks and visitors to gather and share good food, good conversation and good coffee.

“It is a privilege to carry on the traditions and the heart of Merridee’s Breadbasket. We take great pleasure in the way people enjoy their experience in this little hometown bakery. Stop by, take a moment to sit, meet the friendly staff and discover the simple pleasure of Merridee’s.” – Jim Kreider, ownerLäs mer

Dag 2
Windsor to Bowling Green
29 maj, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
A relaxed start in Windsor at 9am, crossing in to US on the Ambassador Bridge. We had a good look at the new Gordie Howe Bridge, still under construction, but it's beautiful.
Our first stop was in Toledo for breakfast, and a quick mural tour. Back on the I75 to Cincinnati where our lunch plans on the riverfront were thwarted by a Reds game, so we hopped on the I71 and ended up at a grocery store deli counter in Crescent Springs Kentucky.
A bit of a tour through Louisville (looking for a mechanic, that thankfully we didn't need in the end).
The drive along I65 through Kentucky was amazing, I didn't expect the hills, or the road cut out of the rock. Really pretty. We were hopeful for a sign announcing change from EDT to CDT, but no luck.
Arrived at our hotel in Bowling Green at 7pm on the dot, a quick look at the room and then off to dinner at Cracker Barrel (you have to go at least once, so I'm told).
Back to the hotel for a swim and soak in the hot tub, a shower and bed.
Good night all!Läs mer

Hamilton to Windsor

The road trip begins!
Kim and I left Hamilton after work, and had a smooth drive all the way to Chatham, when the heavy rain started. Lucky for us, it stopped as we arrived in Windsor, because we had our first photo op of the trip at the Windsor sign on Walker Road at Provincial.
We are settled in with Anita now, toasting our vacation officially beginning.
Can't wait to see Suzanne first thing in the morning!Läs mer

Re-scheduled trip to Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty. I learned some interesting things at the immigration museum and it was very cool to be so close lady liberty. The ferry departed from Liberty National Park in New Jersey. They also have a 9/11 Memorial dedicated to New Jersey’s lost loved ones. It’s called Empty Sky and points to the where the Twin Towers once stood.Läs mer

After The Met we went to the 9/11 Memorial, the Oculus and One World Observatory. Thankfully the rain cleared up and we had a fabulous view of the city from the 102nd floor.
