Cincy & Montgomery Inn

Arrived at the Family Motor Coach Assn. campground last night and as usual have a great place to park. And it is free for 2 nights with full hook-ups and even Wi-Fi.
To make our stay even more pleasant there is a motor home of the same year and model  of  ours across from us. You can see it in the above picture but not very well.
Of course the major event of today was going to dinner at the  Montgomery Inn, Jim's favorite rib restaurant. We ordered one dinner that came with their Onion Straws. They are deep fried onions that are cut very thin. Even though they are deep fried, they are not greasy at all.
 Look at that pile of Onion Straws!!! You can't see the whole rack of ribs but it is the full width of the plate. Even though we got one dinner and split it, we still had a carry out box to take home.
At least Jim looks happier in this photo and Carol must have enjoyed the ribs. Notice the sauce on her cheek!! She actually ate one  more rib than Jim! We took the ribs on the plate back to the motor home for lunch tomorrow.
Carol said she wanted to horse around a little this evening so here she is .... horsing around.
We leave here on Wednesday and head to Zanesville for the wedding.

Visiting Reagle's in Monteagle TN

After a shaky start to our trip north for a wedding and a college reunion we finally got on our way. It was a shaky start because the refrigerator in the motor home would not work 2 days before our departure date!! Thanks to the maintenance guys at the RV repair place in Englewood, we got on our way on Thursday. We drove to Valdosta GA and spent the night at our favorite campground there, Sam's Club!!
The next day we drove to Monteagle TN and stayed at Dave and Lana's place. They are in the process of selling their cabin and this will be our last time to stay there. It is much more than a cabin as you can see below.
Dave and I had some fun feeding the catfish he has raised  in his pond. He put about a dozen small ones in the pond several years ago and now all are about a foot and half and longer. The fish look for the feeding each evening. Here are several of them.

We departed there on Sunday and stopped by in Louisville to pick up a case of pre-mixed mint juleps we  had ordered. These are the official mint juleps that are served at the Kentucky Derby each year. We like to keep a supply on hand and there are several of our friends that also wanted several bottles.
After our short stop in LOU we drove to the FMCA campground in Cincinnati to spend a couple of days just chilln' out. I do want to have a dinner at the Montgomery Inn because they have my most favorite ribs in the entire USA.
Best to all, Jim and Carol
