49 3/4 Anniversary Trip: Night One Travel Time

This weather is our vacation theme. Every time we go on vacation, we find heavy rain - in New York, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana; we are the Rain Gods. When we left the house the sky was clear, very blue with a sprinkling of white cotton candy clouds. We only had to drive ninety minutes away. When the rain started it was blinding. 

Luckily I am not the one driving. We got to the hotel and pulled under the portico and checked in. Unfortunately once we were inside, the wind picked up, almost bending trees. I wish I had taken photos but instead we sat on a couch and watched rain blowing into the thankfully closed back of our vehicle. Finally it let up and we were able to move into our room. 

Not my first rodeo, I had packed umbrellas. We were able to make it back to the vehicle, drive to a restaurant and make it inside for a late supper.  

Here is the haircut when rained on. 

I guess I should mention that we decided during this trip that the theme evolved into eating. We mostly ate.

The first burger my husband ordered. He had a burger almost every meal, no matter where we went. There were other items on all the menus. He always orders the burger. 

This restaurant is famous for it's mushroom brie soup. There is a location of the same restaurant near a fashion museum at a nearby university. I used to take my older 4H girls there on field trip and in those days you could order the soup in bread bowls.  Not only was I wet, I was seated under the air conditioning vent. The soup was hot and delicious, served with pita bread. 

We then returned to the hotel and watched episodes of House Hunters since the tv did not have any of our usual channels. 

And that was the first night for these wild and crazy second honeymooners.
