Day Three

Well, we didn't make it to Paducah or Clarksville; we stopped in Nashville.  I really wanted to have some good barbecue before we left this area.  Which isn't to say Paducah or Clarksville don't have good barbecue, but the chances of finding it here I thought would be better.  The Neely's have a new restaurant here but it got bad reviews on Yelp so we stopped at South Street Restaurant which did get good reviews.  Don got the ribs were good (though he said not better than D's, a restaurant at home) and I got the pulled pork was also good.  We had a corn and kielbasa soup which was probably the highlight of the meal.  The wine was just okay, but what do you expect at a barbecue place.  But I'm getting ahead of myself, went straight to the food, of course.

We left Ashville yesterday (which I've decided not to retire to, too many one way streets) and stopped at a great dog park.  It was the Azaela dog park which I found on my dog app.  Bailey jumped out of the car and ran and ran.  He was very happy to be free.  Missy was also very happy chasing after the tennis ball.  There was a pond there, which Missy eventually jumped in.  She was a little damp when getting back into the car, but she was happy.

Then an uneventful day driving, or riding in the car since I can't drive yet.  The most eventful thing was stopping in the rest area and letting the dogs walk around.  Then deciding to stop in Nashville, which is a very nice city.  I can't retire here, though, 'cause it's Tennessee.  I'm sure Tennessee is a wonderful state, but we're in the SEC I and can't bring myself to move to an orange state.  That leaves Florida out as well.  But it's too hot in Florida so they've been out of the running.

On to St Louis today.  After we finally find some good coffee.  Okay, I'm a coffee snob.  But I like my coffee and there are so few high points riding in the car.  Other than the scenery, which Missy liked as well:

She almost went to sleep sitting up staring out of the window.

More later.
