Crossing over into Tennessee, we are now on interstate highways: lots of 18 wheelers, less green nice scenery, some dogwood trees and redbud trees. Rather boring drive now! Perfect time to knit without distraction. I’m working on socks from bits of stash.
Across the Mississippi River bridge into Memphis—we spy downtown and Tennessee welcome center
Area for Elvis, King of Rock and Roll
And blues musician, B B King.
We tune our music to some Elvis and BB King blues.
Tennessee has many state parks, civil war battle fields, Land Between the Lakes, lots of state police patrolling the Interstate!
Nashville!! Music City!! We do not stop this trip.
Onward to our night destination—Lexington, KY.
We enjoy our dinner in the hotel lobby. Earlier in the day, we had purchased spinach salad, bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, cheese/meat tray, etc. it was a treat to enjoy the small meal along with our Texas wine. We brought along several variety of Girl Scout cookies to pair with a white and red wine. Yum! Yum! 
The next morning we left hotel @ 7 AM drive to Buffalo Trace Distillery; arrived @ 8 to reserve place in line for bourbon special of the day. Each day a different bourbon is presented to those in line, with wristband. It’s interesting wait, make new friends as we wait. Once open, line moves quickly inside to receive our wristbands—boom, you’re ready to hit gift shop and or take a tour. Some tours require a reservation.
Products sign featured for day is located on the entry door of the gift shop. So many things you can buy!
The day is still early, which gives us the opportunity to continue to Williamstown, KY and our major destination—Noah’s Arc!
