Proper now, your entire world is caught in quarantine. Our lives are stuffed with uncertainty. We aren’t certain after we can have the flexibility to go on a highway journey or trip. We don’t even know after we’ll have the ability to see household and buddies that don’t reside with us. So, like many others, for the time being ALL I can take into consideration is working away. Accomplished doesn’t imply completed. Simply because we’ve checked a state off, doesn’t imply we gained’t return.
Doug and I discover ourselves watching a ton extra tv than regular. We’re watching issues we by no means would have watched earlier than. We now discover ourselves stopping on new reveals as a result of we’ve seen every little thing that we normally watch.
A few of the reveals we’ve got began watching at random have actually made us take into consideration our journeys. Doug is the one who pointed it out after we had been watching “Trip with Norman Reedus” and I requested a query. On this episode he was in Kentucky with Clifton Collins Jr. They began in Louisville, went by Lexington and completed up in Pink River Gorge. My query to Doug, “We didn’t go to Louisville after we had been in Kentucky, did we?” The reply was “No,” we had not been to Louisville, or Lexington, and even the Pink River Gorge. All appeared like locations we might have loved visiting, however we didn’t cease at any of them.
Once we had been in Kentucky we went to the unique Kentucky Fried
Rooster. Okay, so it wasn’t precisely the
unbelievable eclectic little dives that Norman appears to search out, but it surely was fairly
cool. They do nonetheless serve meals so we
deliberate it as our dinner cease for the day.
However hooked up to the restaurant is a museum of all issues KFC. That they had a mannequin of the unique structure
together with the fuel station, lodge, and sure… restaurant. The historical past of the infamous meals chain is a
little darkish and is sort of a comeback story.
We did make our Kentucky cease extra thrilling than KFC by stopping
in Loretto, dwelling of Maker’s Mark bourbon.
You probably have by no means been, we extremely suggest it! Not like different distilleries we’ve got been to,
Jayden was capable of come on the tour with us.
We didn’t have to decide on a unique tour choice as a result of we had a baby
with us. This was unbelievable as a result of he
had simply as a lot enjoyable studying their course of as we did whereas we walked the
grounds by quite a few buildings. Doug
and I did the testing on the finish, however clearly, Jayden needed to sit out for
that. The grounds of the plant are
undeniably beautiful. I virtually needed to
renew our vows simply to have a motive to try to host it there. Like I mentioned, extremely really helpful.
One other present we’ve got caught ourselves watching, “Diners,
Drive-In’s, and Dives” with Man Fieri.
Now, I’ll admit, watching this present isn’t new for the 2 of us. We have now seen loads of episodes. In actual fact, I’ve gotten off the bed to make bacon
cupcakes as a result of we had been watching it whereas mendacity in mattress one night time. Nevertheless it isn’t a present we flip to until there
isn’t a lot else on, solely as a result of then Doug begins drooling over one thing
we’ve seen, I declare that we’ve got all the substances and begin
cooking. I don’t know if you happen to’ve ever
watched Triple D, however not lots of the issues he eats are wholesome by the
requirements of any food plan. For us, watching
an excessive amount of Triple D, shortly results in expanded waist strains. This time after we watched the present, I used to be
concentrating extra on WHERE he was as an alternative of what he was consuming. I assume I actually simply can’t cease considering
about that subsequent highway journey!
However Norman, Man, and Doug bought me considering – I do know we’ve already checked Kentucky off of our map, however
similar to each different state, there’s all the time one thing extra to see! I’m certain if all of us sat there and simply
thought in regards to the state we at the moment reside in, there will likely be numerous issues
that we haven’t carried out, or seen there. I
know Man has been to New Jersey. Do you
know the way lots of the eating places on his examine listing we’ve been to right here in our very
personal state? NONE! We have now by no means been to any of Man’s NJ
stops. New Jersey isn’t a really large state
and we reside useless smack within the center. It
isn’t like we reside in Texas, we reside in New Jersey. We’ve gone to NYC for pizza, so why precisely
haven’t we gone to Wildwood for warm canines?!
I don’t know… I simply don’t have an important reply. However you realize that it now has my thoughts racing
about our subsequent highway journey.
That previous saying, “Do
not look too far for
you will notice nothing” actually got here blaring to thoughts. I feel typically we neglect to check out
what is correct in entrance of us. I stored
daydreaming about getting misplaced on some journey in a state I discovered extra unique
than my very own, however the reality is, the minute the quarantine is lifted right here, I
assume we’re going to Wildwood for hotdogs!
Perhaps head down into Cape Could and do a ghost tour. On the best way dwelling, we’re going to cease in
Margate to see Lucy the Elephant.

straightforward. Have a look on the Triple D
web site https://www.dinersdriveinsdiveslocations.com/ discover your
state and get within the automotive! I’m certain you
might have numerous enjoyable checking all the similar locations off that he has. Or take a web page out of Norman’s e book, and go

favourite place. Simply since you’ve been
someplace, doesn’t imply that you just’ve seen all of it.
