We woke at 7 am and prepared to leave by 7:30 am, but the fog outside was so thick, we couldn’t see across the street! While we waited for it to clear, we watched two episodes of “My Favorite Martian” and left at 8:30 am when the fog lifted. We visited the location of Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace along the way. At the visitor’s center, we watched a short video, then walked up to an elaborate marble memorial building which housed and protected the original 18’ x 12’ cabin. We left the Lincoln home at 9:30 am and headed down the road. The route was especially beautiful, with rolling hills and farmhouses dotting the landscape. A few dogs chased us but there were no serious attempts. We stopped in New Hope at a convenience store and bought sodas and Fritos to snack on. Lenny took lots of photos today because the scenery was so picturesque. When we arrived in Springfield at 2:30 pm, we were going to continue to Harrodsburg, but decided to stay in town. Rich shared a room with us at the Days Inn. We picked up some groceries and ate dinner at Wendy’s.
