Homeward bound

Saturday, we got up, and, instead of eating continental breakfast at the hotel, decided to go out and try the Express Cafe- we'd walked by there the evening before, but they weren't open. The line for The Lady and Sons was already 2 blocks long at 8:30 (and they don't open til 11!) so once again, I was glad we weren't going there. Breakfast was really delicious, and it was nice to stretch our legs before starting out again.

We had a pretty uneventful drive to our hotel- we'd decided to stop just north of Nashville for the evening. The hotel has recently changed to all non-smoking, and our first room REEKED of cigarette smoke. We ended up moving to a room on another floor, which was much better. Continental breakfast in the morning, before starting on the home stretch.

We were do to stop and switch drivers, and have lunch around Louisville. I read on our map that there was an arboretum just South of there which had a cafe, and we decided to stop. Bernheim Arboretum was REALLY nice- and the cafe had much tastier food than McDonalds. The kids meals (3.99) were served on a Frisbee (6.99) that we got to keep. And after we ate we drove over to the kids playground which was really nice- we had a fun break playing there. The rest of the drive home was pretty quiet- we made one final stop for coffee and to change drivers, and made it home in time for dinner (and to start laundry- ugh!)
