We left Rochester, Minnesota at 6am. We waited until daylight to start traveling because we have gotten to the age where we don’t like driving in the dark. We were surprised by how much flooding there was in Iowa! We stopped in Wayland, IA for gas at a Flying J. Don drank some Muscle Milk and I had cookies for breakfast. As we headed south, it kept getting hotter! We arrived in Paducah, KY around 4pm and decided to stop for the night. We got a room at the Comfort Inn for $88 off of Hotels.com. Then we went to Sam’s Club and filled up with gas. For dinner, we stopped at Culver's. After dinner, we went to the waterfront and walked along the beautiful painted murals.

We left Paducah, KY around 6:40 in the morning. We hit a lot traffic around Knoxville so we stopped for lunch at Culver’s. Then 30 minutes later, we stopped at Bucees for gas in Kodak, TN. Then we hit road construction all the way home. Instead of taking 25 to Greenville, we stayed on I-26 all the way to Woodruff and came home the back way. It was so hot when we got home (94F compared to the 53F when we left Minnesota). After we unpacked, we went to dinner so the house could cool off. Then we went into the kitchen (that is still a disaster area) and covered the air vents with cardboard so the AC wasn’t cooling a room that we couldn’t use. Finally, around 10pm, we decided to call it a night!
