Sparta KY to Windsor ON

June 3, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

Last day on the road, we started the day with a lobby breakfast at the Sparta Ramada, and then crossed the road to the Kentucky Speedway - closed since 2020, but still used for the Richard Petty Driving Experience. We only took photos, not lessons!

Our first stop heading out of Kentucky was at Rabbit Hash, located on the banks of the Ohio River, to see the historic General Store, operating in the same site since 1831. We enjoyed browsing the Artisan shop and General Store, and learning a bit of the area's history.
A quick lunch at Wendy's and then we got on the Interstate 75 for a direct drive home (eta 4.5 hours)

We did get off the highway for a short shopping trip at Hobby Lobby, and another stop for gas and snacks.

The border crossing was quick and painless, thanks to having our paperwork in order, and we slipped into Windsor before the sun set.

Dropped off Suzanne at home at 8pm, and picked up Chinese for a late supper.

I'm not ready for our trip to be done!Read more
