50 State Travel Blog - Driving Vettes in Kentucky

SandraLynn insisted on parking the Party Bus a couple of blocks away from the Corvette museum because she didn’t want the corvettes to see the Party Bus. Well, Lyn's a Witchy Woman and Sung'manitu cajoled her to drive the Party Bus right into the parking lot! As soon as we got out, a staff member met us, eye’d the bus, eye’d SandraLynn and pointed to a corvette. “Want to drive a fast car?” he asked. I think she thought that he thought that she didn’t have it in her, but clearly, he had no clue to SandraLynn driving prowess. We all booked rides and SandraLynn went first. She got back, the dude’s hair had grown a ponytail and he was all wild eye’d. SandraLynn took him for a good, couple of fast loops and aged him five years.



Lyn's a Witchy Woman and WakeUpAndLive got their vettes up to about a 100 MPH. Krista had AmyJo-Downhill slide begins! take pictures of her driving so she could put them on her Instagram.

I drove so fast the PoPo pulled me over, but I showed them my 911 dispatcher ID from LAPD and they all laughed and escorted me back to the museum.

After that, Princess Megan Rose followed the speed limit when she drove around the track.

The tour was pretty neat and we learned a lot about corvettes. The first one was made in 1953. Since then, the styles have changed, but not the need for speed.

As we left the museum, WakeUpAndLive and Sung'manitu bought some stickers for their Nalgene bottles and SandraLynn bought a toy corvette to hang off the rear view mirror to go with the Hawaiian Christmas bus ornament.

After, we took a boat ride in the Lost river caves which reminded me of the Salt Mines I visited in Berchesgarden, Germany.

Richard ~ Looking for Luck! wanted to ride the zip-line so we were we to say no? Heck, I think Lyn's a Witchy Woman and Sung'manitu might have tried it, but we were exhausted. Well, Richard ~ Looking for Luck! had a blast. He put a go-pro on his helmet and tapped the whole thing.

Well, after all that adventure, we were all in the mood for another hot springs. I tried to find a Diner, Drive-in or Dive in bowling green, but alas, Guy Fieri has yet to visit. So after a nap on the party bus, we went to a couple of places and AmyJo-Downhill slide begins! and I wrote to him, recommending some spots. Can’t wait to see if he visits!
