Kentucky

I am with Dawn and the kids, and we are in Kentucky for a few days of vacation. We've seen the Newport Aquarium, and then headed to Brook, KY for the night. Nothing special their other than a Quality Inn with a new treadmill if you do that sort of thing. Got up this morning and spent the first part of the day at the Patton Museum which houses tanks, uniforms, guns, a bust of Saddam Hussein (taken from this last Iraq invasion), and a piece of the Berlin wall. The last section of the exhibit really honors George Patton. It's a good place to get a quick overview of his life.

The second part of the day we headed to Abraham Lincoln's birthplace and boyhood home (until he was seven). The main take away for me was how life in some respects was so simple...and what caught my thoughts were the fact that people back then weren't working to build a retirement fund, accumulate things, and keep up with the Jone's. Maybe
they were...it's just not presented that way.
