I am thinking that I need to write a few things in the Blog before I forget. It has been very busy since we arrived on Wednesday. Of course we have met a lot of new people since this is our first Discovery Ralley. The members are from all over but believe it or not there are three couples from the Columbus, Georgia area. We have found out that we know some of the same people in the Bainbridge area .
Thursday we went to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum which was very interesting. After this we decided that it was time to EAT so off we went into Berea Ky. to find the Cracker Barrell. We had lupper, as Ralph and Janice call it which stands for lunch and supper. By the time we arrived back at the campground after our daily stop at Wal Mart for supplies it was Happy Hour. Out came MORE food so we had a little more to eat and then waddled to our coaches to get some rest to be ready for Friday.
Firday morning our host provided a great breakfast of pancakes and sausage and then some of the girls took in a couple of pottery studios and got lots of information and some purchased some nice pieces of pottery. I do not know how we ever found one of these places . It was really far back in a Holler as they say. Around 5 pm we all gathered for a wonderful dinner up at the entertainment center. It was family style and there was plenty of fried chicken, ham, mashed potates, corn, green beans, bread, cole slaw and "Nanna pudding". After dinner we attend the Tribute to Legends Show in the Old Barn. This was a very good show and I would put it right up there with what we saw in Branson.
Saturday morning after another huge breakfast of eggs, bisquits and gravy we had a business meeting and then off shopping again. The was a Arts and Craft Festival in Berea and of course we had to check that out.
Saturday evening some of the group went to "The Barn Dance" but we had tickets to see Loretta Lynn. Her show was very good and for her age of 73 she still has it. She had two of her daughters and a grandaughter performing also.
Sunday morning we said goodbye to everyone and started on our way back to Virginia. We traveled to Beckley West Virginia and are staying in the camping area of the Amory for the next two nights. There is a bridge over the New River Gorge that we are going to check out tomorrow. Once a year they have the bridge festival and it is this next weekend so we will miss the crowds, which the web sites says is around 200,000 people. They even bungie jump from this bridge.. No thank you.
