Tuesday was another crazy weather day!  After enjoying great coffee with my parents and Dini's birthday breakfast, we fully geared up and headed south,  but as the day progressed, we found ourselves removing layer after layer.  Even though the weatherman called for no rain, we hit intermittent showers so we made a brief stop in Perrysville to add our rain pants.  Steve talked with a man at the convenience store we used as our stop and he knew one of his best friends!

It was another very scenic drive through gorgeous Kentucky hill and horse country.  We saw a truck with a tree growing around it, a wagon wheel fence on a back road and an enormous monument to Jefferson Davis that seemed to rise out of nowhere in the middle of nowhere.  It was similar in design to the Washington Monument.

Our travels today took us through Kentucky and Tennessee.  I consider Steve an amazing storm dodger.  There were spotty showers and as the afternoon wore on we began to hear of sporadic tornadoes in the region in which we were traveling.  As it appeared to become more ominous, we decided to stop for the night in Union City, TN and made it indoors literally minutes before the skies opened up in downpour.  We watched minute by minute tornado sightings via the news, all around us.  Whew!!  The crazy weather is attributed to cold and hot air mixtures - it went from 40's to 80's across a span of a few hours on this day.

Unfortunately I started feeling a cold coming on so we ordered take in and relaxed.  Steve went and got me cold meds and Emergenc-C to help.  They are calling for sun and cold weather tomorrow - hoping they are wrong.  I am ready to NOT be chilled through for a day. 

Steve calls days like our first two travel days, MDU's, when we have to travel mostly interstates.  He says interstates on a motorcycle are mileage disposal units, so we are now referring to our first two days as MDUD's - mileage disposal days!!  I am so thankful for today's scenic highways and for my amazing husband!  He is awesome and I am blessed more than I can express in words.

More soon -

Elizabeth and Steve
