Today we drove about 30 miles south to Bowling Green, KY, home of the National Corvette Museum and the Bowling Green GM Assembly Plant, where these magnificent autos are assembled. The GM plant does tours Mon.-Thurs. only, so we knew we couldn’t do that. The museum was open to see the dream cars of many people. The museum appears relatively new and has just about everything Corvette related. Someone once said a picture is worth a thousand words, so let me shut up.
After our museum tour we stopped at the Bowling Green Tourist Kiosk and were directed to a great lunch at Mariah’s in downtown Bowling Green. We all had the Baked Potato Soup that is to die for. Each of us had a sandwich to go along, Donna a vegetable wrap, Katherine half a chicken salad club, and myself a mahi-mahi taco. The food and service were both excellent. Definitely 4-star in my book!
After lunch we tried to do Lost River Caverns. No luck there, as the wait for the next available tour was over 2 ½ hours. Oh well, another time. Katherine bought a bag panning stuff to look for gemstones. She had fun with it and found lots of interesting stones. Now we just need someone to tell us what riches we have stumbled on! Since we could not do the tour we drove around Bowling Green some more. This is a very pretty town. We saw lots of big and smaller homes on large lots with big trees and lush green lawns. We drove through the campus of Western Kentucky University, a beautiful campus.
