We arrived just before most stores opened, which we were slightly surprised by since we were used to starting our days at 6. Soon enough they opened their doors, however, and we did a little browsing before meeting Louisa's aunt for lunch.
After some slight confusion when Emily was given the wrong menu and thought Louisa was ordering a pizza with chocolate chips on it, we had a pleasant and delicious lunch before continuing east.
Our next destination was Louisville, where Emily's mother had graciously allowed us to use some of her Marriott points to book ourselves a room. We were surprised to find out that the hotel was actually in Jeffersonville, Indiana, right across the river from Kentucky. Although we would be traveling all the way across southern Indiana, we would still have to go into Kentucky and back out again to get to our hotel.
The drive there was rather boring, as we were very hot and eager to get to our air-conditioned hotel room, complete with shower, bed, and tv. We did manage to find the best gas station store, however: QT (or QwikTrip), which has 32 oz. soft drinks for 49 cents. And believe us, we needed all 32 ounces to deal with the heat.
Arriving at our hotel after dark, we were pleasantly surprised to see fireworks across the river in Kentucky, welcoming us to the region. We decided we were too tired for the pool and went to crash on the bed with the Topsy's popcorn Louisa's aunt had given us. We were desperate to channel surf.
It was a nice, relaxing night.
