Road Trip!!
I've Moved! The Boomer Chronicles has closed after 6 years, but you can keep up with me on my new blog at http://www.rheabecker.com
I love getting in a car in the morning and not knowing exactly where I’m going to end up that night. For me, that’s the definition of a good road trip. So this weekend I will embark on a weeklong trip for parts unknown. This trip will allow me to knock off two more states in my effort to see every U.S. state. My first stop is upstate New York, where I will see Ithaca and its gorges for the first time as well as have a meal at the renowned Moosewood restaurant. Then I head over to Amish country in Ohio to see friends and immerse myself in all things Amish. Then I go to Kentucky and check out the bourbon distilleries, horse country, and the arts & crafts. Then over to West Virginia, where I hear the scenery is amazing. Then a day in Gettysburg, which I’ve never been to, and then home.

oh, goody! You are going to see two things I have seen: The gorges and Moosewood Restaurant. I was in Ithaca for my daughter’s restaurant and really thought it was a pretty town.

Cool, Hattie. Good to hear it’s a worthwhile stop.
Emily, thanks! I was told the Kentucky heat is unbearable at this time of year, but hey, no waiting in lines for anything!

I envy your road trip. I don’t get much chance to do that here in China. But I’m planning an epic trip when I go back to the States next year! I used to have a cookbook from the Moosewood Restaurant. Good to know they’re still there.

That sounds like fun to me. I have gotten out of the habit of doing that, and your post makes me feel like getting into the car and driving out to Crater Lake, or out to the coast to visit an old friend. Thanks for the inspiration!

Man I’m losing it. I meant to say I was in Ithaca for my daughter’s wedding!
Well, I’ve been sick.
