Ladies & Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!

City: Covington, Kentucky
Odometer: 376.4
Soundtrack: The Meters, Patsy Cline, Django Reinhardt, Hit Parade of 1947.

Today after a nice stay "somewhere under the rainbow..." we headed straight for the starting point of the big sale in West Unity. Our very first stop proved quite successful as we found a cute little Thomas backpack for Matthew.

Then we made a quick stop for breakfast at Lester's retro diner in Bryan, and continued on down 127. We tried to prioritize and just stopped at the larger "clusters" of sales, but still only made it about halfway through Ohio by 6pm when the sales started closing up for the night. We had to make it to Cincinnati tonight since we're meeting up with Virgil in the morning, so we grabbed a bite to eat at the Motor Inn Truck Stop and then ended up crashing just over the Cincinnati border at the Holiday Inn in Covington, KY.

Below are some of the many pics we took today, including a still-life of (most of) today's bounty. Since I'm exhausted, I have to keep this short, but stay tuned - I'll keep trying to post daily.

Oh- I forgot to mention yesterday - a big THANK YOU to Greg & Michelle for the use of their nice new minivan!

BTW - We're having a great time! Tomorrow is all Kentucky.
