We traveled to bowling Green Ky and stayed at the KOA while there. The park was just ok. The Corvette factory is there in Bowling Green and what a treat that was. Anyone that knows me knows how I love" Vettes" and was sad when I sold my 1989 cherry red one in 1991 when we moved from Tucson, Az. I think that my kids thought it was one of my children. General Motors Bowling Green assembly plant is the only production plant for this classic American made sports car. The Chevrolet Corvette and the Cadillac XLR are the only cars produced at this plant. Every Corvette produced since 1982 was produced at this plant which meant that's where mine was built.... and every car produced there daily has already been sold to a dealer for someone. The people that the cars are made for can come and pick it up at the plant but it has to be sold through a dealer. They offer a 1 hour free factory guided tour Monday - Friday. We were looking for a freebe, like most factory tours offer, but we were out of luck this day. No freebee's.
We also visited the National Corvette Museum while we were there and saw over 70 actual models including the original 1953. There is even a Corvette Diner inside the museum where we had lunch. Kentucky is largely known for its tobacco farming, dairy and livestock, but this state well deserves its name as the Bluegrass State. Its beautiful...

- We decided that it was time to see America so we sold our home (in 3 weeks) and bought a new 5th wheel and took to the road. It was hard to leave our grandchildren but with email,texts and cell phones we knew they would survive...and so would we. Almost everything we own is in 3 pods in Texarkana Texas. We plan to travel as much as we can and have met so many great people so far..and who knows...maybe we don't need all of that "stuff" in storage cause we sure don't need it on the RV. A very simple lifestyle and we love it more everyday.
