Today we left Cincinnati and drove to Berea, KY. One night after we had set our new route to Atlanta, I recalled going to Berea, KY as a kid and that the college there supported a craft community. I found Berea right off I-75, and the web site made it look worth a stop. It was. We had a nice time looking through some really lovely craft cooperatives. We started our Christmas shopping and found a few other gifts as well--in addition to a few things for ourselves.
One of the nicest things about this trip has been our flexible schedule. I read a little blurb in the guide book about the Cincinnati Zoo, so we went. Today I read another short piece about Cumberland Falls in the Kentucky guide book we picked up at the Welcome Center, so off we went. The falls is the only one in North America where you can see a moonbow on a clear night with a full moon. The park reminded both of us of several New York state parks we've visited. We also changed our plans for tomorrow. Tracy loves to drive the "back roads," so we'll be leaving the interstate and driving some "smaller roads" across northern Georgia and heading into Atlanta on route 400 instead of driving all the way in on I-75. We had reservations in Knoxville, but changed those too. So here we are in Cleveland, TN. Who would have thought?
