The drive home


On the drive home from the reunion we stopped at a couple places. One was Abraham Lincoln's birthplace in Kentucky. They have enclosed the cabin where he was born in a marble monument to preserve it. It sounds weird but it was kind of cool getting to see a cabin that was as old as this one. To get to the cabin we had to walk on this boardwalk through the woods. It was very nice to be under these trees on this hot day. Chance kept looking at the wheels on his stroller as we walked.
Another place we stopped was the Jack Daniels distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. It was actually very interesting. We got to go through all the stages of making the Whiskey. Some rooms smelled horrible but we learned how it is made and the story of mister Jack Daniel. It actually makes me want to buy a bottle and taste it just to think of the real proccess that it takes to make that bottle. Lynchburg is in a dry county so I will have to buy myself a bottle here sometime.
