This is Lizzy after Day 9 of road tripping across the U.S. She typically sleeps 12+ hours each day (as dogs do), but she hasn't been sleeping in the car as she prefers to look out the window or hang out with her humans. Needless to say each night (and especially tonight) she is one done dog. I know she's looking forward to Toronto where she'll no longer have to ride in the car each day and where she'll be able to catch up on her beauty sleep.
As for her humans, we started off the day in Nashville and ended it in Cincinnati. We unfortunately hit rain on our way into town which makes it the first official day of bad weather. I'm hoping things only get better from here (a girl can wish can't she?).

Now I have to say, Kentucky is a mighty confusing state. In one state we managed to travel by Glasgow, Lebanon, London and Stanford. Seriously? Where the hell was their originality when coming up with city names? We also changed to our final time zone today which threw us off a bit. Lizzy enjoyed it though cause she got dinner an hour early :)
Anyways, along the way we got to see this friendly dinosaur
and we got to stop to see how Louisville Sluggers are made at the factory. We weren't allowed to take pictures so unfortunately the only one I have to share is this one from after the tour.
We got mini bats as a souvenir :D Yaron commented that he thought it was funny how we were more interested in the techniques on how to make a bat and the machines they use rather than all the baseball facts they were throwing at us or the historic significance of where we were. I doubt we'll start making our own bats, but it was really fun to see. The smell in the factory of all the wood was just amazing :)
Tonight it's still raining so we decided to grab dinner and bring it back to eat while we take it easy and just crash. We decided to take a night off from bbq so I found this neat little restaurant where you choose your meatball, choose your carb and then choose your sauce. It was quite delectable and they even had veggie meatballs which I totally took advantage of! They didn't hold together quite well, but I got mine over pasta so I was okay with them breaking up. Tons of flavour though so I'd definitely consider making this dish myself.
Tomorrow we are heading towards our last American city on this road trip: Ann Arbor. We'll be seeing Yarons old co-worker and her family for dinner. We're both excited as she's super friendly and awesome. Tomorrow, we will also be stopping by Tim Hortons in the States. This will be our first Tim Hortons on the route and we plan to fully take advantage of it. Is it sad that I already know I'll be ordering at least a hot chocolate and muffin? And if they just so happen to have some cherry timbits (crueller ones not the gross cherry jam filled ones) then I may have to get a couple of those too.
Here are the time-lapsed videos from yesterday and today.
See ya again tomorrow. Probably different time, but definitely same place.
