The Corbitt's Corner: Winter in Kentucky (part 1)

I will start by saying that I will break this up into a couple of posts so that you are not totally bored by my words!!! President’s Day weekend we decided we would take the kids for a short vacation since Brooke had President's Day off. It just so happened that we were expecting up to 4 inches of snow on Friday so they canceled school for that day as well. We were very fortunate that schools were closed on Friday so we could get on the road in the morning instead of after Brooke got out. We packed up the car and headed out just as the snow began falling. We were a little sad to be leaving home with the expected snowfall but we knew that snow was expected to fall in Kentucky while we were there. The drive wasn't too bad until we got to the Birmingham area. Once there, the snow really began to fall and the roads didn't look great. We decided we would take our time driving since we were not expected in Kentucky until 9 that night. It snowed on us all the way to Huntsville. We stopped in Huntsville for a long lunch and to allow Edward to stretch his legs on the playground. He was a real trooper!!! We loaded back up and headed north. We had planned to stop at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY to eat up some of our time. For the last 10 years, every time Thomas and I headed to Kentucky, he has wanted to stop at the museum. We figured it MIGHT be a good idea this trip since Edward is so into things that move. Brooke was totally NOT into looking at cars!!!! Edward didn't care a thing about the cars. Well he was slightly interested but he really just wanted to run. I spent the whole time wrangling him so that Thomas could enjoy looking. It was a really neat place and had Corvettes that dated back to the very first one. I highly recommend it if anyone is ever traveling that way. It is right off I-65. After a short break we headed on to our destination. We stopped again for supper and then headed off to our friend Jonesy's house. Edward was thrilled to get out of the car and ate up every ounce of attention he got from Jonesy and his parents.
