It’s hard to believe that today marks the end of the 4th week on the road. I’ve been to 24 states so far, covered over 7000 miles, and I’ve been to 8 caves in various area of the country. Each place had it’s own flavor, and since I pride myself in trying new things everywhere I go I have been able to enjoy something unique.
Driving home today is going to be a bit of a treat. I would say I am going to spend these few days relaxing, but the truth is I have a lot of things to catch up on, clean, and friends who have some amazing plans to keep me busy this week. While being on the road is great, and I pride myself in enjoying my time alone, loneliness does eventually start to creep up on me. After a month of being in strange places it will feel nice to be in familiar territory.
Following is a collection of different food and drink items I have tried throughout my trip thus far. Feel free to ask about any of them, or give your own input. I love hearing from my readers!
I’ll see you here tomorrow and the next few days, when I will be sharing some of the awesome things my home state of Missouri has to offer.
Enjoy!

Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale In Lexington, KYAle81. Tastes similar to ginger ale. Lexington, KY. Ski. From Kentucky. Citrus soda, a lot like Squirt, minus the bite of grapefruit. Kentucky Fried Chicken. Not from the colonel, but probably better....especially when served with black cherry preserves & biscuits. Thai Orchid Cafe's Peanut chicken. Their own recipe...and tasty! Lexington, KY. Dos Equis. Not unique, I drink it all the time...probably because I'm trying to be the "Most Interesting (Wo)Man in the World". (I had this in Arkansas with my friend, her husband, and neighbors)Mint Juleps at Oak Alley. Something everyone has to try once. Louisiana. Fried catfish and crawfish, creole style. Louisiana. Abita restoration ale- helping restore New Orleans. Beignets from Cafe Du Monde. If you go to NOLA without having an order of these, you fail. It's tradition. Crawfish tails and veggies, cooked at camp in Alabama. Datz. A Tampa, Florida cafe with GIANT coffee drinks. Dime for size reference. Fresh made chocolates from St. Augustine, Florida's Whetstone ChocolatesPecan-encrusted fresh fish. Savannah, GA. MmmmThe Savannah Bee Company. I'm sure many of you have been to a wine tasting....how about a honey tasting? I have. First-of-Season Georgia peaches. You can only get these in GA at local fruit stands. A heritage tomatoe. Purchased in Virginia, originating from a hot house in Canada. Hmmm...Dominion Root beer. Viriginia. Made wit real honey...and real tasty!Peanut Butter Confetti Cookies. You can only get these if you know my friend...she makes lots of cookies, and delicious cookies. Creme Brulee from Pier 77 in Maine. You can't say you've had lobster until you've had lobster in Maine. For me this is true because this is the first time I've ever had lobster.

Love Root Beer! and Beignet’s of course.
I want to know when you will cook for us at home like you did at your campground?
