Day 0: Kentucky Horse Country

One of the destinations that's been on our list for a while is Lexington, Kentucky. Marsha went there for business several years ago (her mom and friend got to do all the sight-seeing). We finally decided to make a weekend trip of it and even take our bikes.

Lexington is only about six hours away (in theory), so we left home Friday afternoon as soon as we got off work. We headed northwest to Charleston, WV, then across to Lexington. Let me tell you, this was one long trip in terrible weather. It rained like a big dog, with no signs of letting up. What made it even worse was that we were driving through the mountains the whole time. We really considered stopping, but kept on, hoping we'd eventually drive out of it.

Luckily, the rain finally let up and we got here around midnight. The one thing that kept me going was knowing that I had driven through worse (see Cleveland to Chicago). Ironically, we'd originally planned this trip for early April, but had postponed it due to the weather.
