{Road Trip} Day Twenty-Three - Kicking It Through Kentucky and HOME!

We covered a lot of ground last night, driving into the early hours of the morning, and stopping in Paducah, KY for the night...
 
This morning we visited the grave of Vice President Alben Barkley...



Alben Barkley served as the 35th Vice President of the United States under President Harry Truman.

From there, we travelled down a rural Kentucky highway in Christian County to the birthsite of Vice President Adlai Stevenson, where a school now stands...



Adlai Stevenson served as the 23rd Vice President of the United States during President Grover Cleveland's second term.

We made our final stop on this summer's road trip at the birthsite of the President of the Confederate States, Jefferson Davis, a memorial obelisk...



and small museum in Fairview...



After exploring the museum, we rode the elevator up to the top of the monument...


and checked out the view from way up high...




A monumental end to a truly MONUMENTAL trip...



A few more hours down the road, we dropped Grandma off at home...


and crossed into our very favorite state by far, our HOME state...

These little ones have been the epitome of TROOPERS for the past 3 1/2 weeks...

 {one of the said "three" is obviously still (very smartly) asleep}

With that, we are thankful for another family adventure in the books!

And, no odometer pic this go...  We got a (much needed) oil change once we crossed back into the country in Washington, and sadly they reset everything on the dashboard...  Boo...
 

Until next summer...
