Greetings from Kentucky!

I can officially add two new states to my list of places I've been: Ohio and Kentucky.

I was afraid I wouldn't get a chance to blog much but Josh is in the shower so I thought I'd take advantage of the hotels free wireless internet and update the blog on how things are going.

Graduation was good, but a little sad. I'm glad summer is here but I'm going to miss my friends in high school. My family took me out to dinner after the ceremony. Josh came along. There was weird tension between him and my father.

After dinner we left for the shore. It was fun but too short. We had to be back in Pennsylvania by the afternoon on Saturday so that I could "celebrate" father's day with my dad. What a joke - he's not much of a dad.

Yesterday morning we hit the rode. We stopped for lunch at a Cracker Barrel. Josh says is the ultimate road trip restaurant. It was my first time there, and I have to say it was fun having a country meal. Other than Cracker Barrel, the day was pretty uneventful. We just drove and drove until we got to Louisville.

Today we're going to stop at Churchill Downs. Josh wants to see where they hold the Kentucky Derby. After that we head to Memphis. I went on iTunes and downloaded a bunch of Tennessee-related songs. I know...I'm a dork but I got some Elvis and I got the song "Graceland." It's been in my head non-stop for the past week!

That's all for now. More to come as our adventure continues.
