lets go someplace we have never been before I: kentucky, georgia, virginia

 via

 We were just listening to the Beatles song "Day Tripper" and wondered where we might go and what we might wear and of course what savory food we might find along the highway.

Spoil your fellow travelers with treats.  Fall ideas could include:  Baked Apple Dumplings with bourbon caramel sauce, tried the recipe out of the Garden and Gun Magazine Oct 2012.   It was wonderful hot or cold.   Or Pumpkin Bread Pudding also in that issue.  I was traveling and found this at a friends home but I know if you REALLY like the idea you will find these somewhere.  A car ride can be delightful....if it rains you will have to be creative.

There is a WONDERFUL restaurant inside the gallery. Look up Hot Brown Sandwiches, Shrimp & Grits.
You will be near Bardstown and also might want to visit Shakertown.  


Cumin colored driving cap.  Makes all of us want to put the top back and close
the store for a quick get away.

One of us really wanted to go to the Atlanta Art Museum. Another is talking about taking her daughter to the American Girl Doll store.
A wonderful place to stop along the way is Monteagle and have a picnic near Sewanee. Or go into Sewanee and eat at one of the delicious cafes and see some local art galleries.

I found this link when looking for day trip ideas. Essentials for those of you looking for a romantic get away, a day away from the routine or a family outing. The link is below.
"In previous articles, I've provided some tips and suggestions for creating an everyday "Road-Trip Go-Kit" and a "Pets Go-Kit." In honor of the al fresco season, here is my "Picnic Go-Kit."
"First, purchase a large plastic container with a seal-able lid to hold your picnic equipment and keep it clean. Store it where you can grab it at a moment's notice, or keep it in your car's trunk if you have room. Pack it with the following essentials and you'll be ready to sneak away for an impromptu picnic."
