"Exploring" Hilton Head

So, first I'll admit, I was the late sleeper today. After getting in when we did I crashed, and wasn't ready to leave the bed until around 11:30 the next morning. To me this was a bonus day as I thought we'd still be driving here. So that's how I justify getting up late and pretty much wasting half the day. So after I got my ass up we walked across the parking lot and ate brunch. We ate at The Plantation Cafe, good food, nothing spectacular but they had solid coffee and the food was exactly what we needed. Deb had bunion surgery in June and has been struggling finding comfortable shoes that didn't make her foot hurt and swell up. So we went to a local outlet mall and spent time looking for a good pair of shoes at various stores.

Heading to Hilton Head

Deb and I headed out this morning. In my head we were going to drive for a good while before stopping to eat and decide then how much farther we'd go before stopping. We did not book a room, possibly the only good thing to come from the Covid pandemic this year is there's no trouble getting last minute hotel rooms. So we drove until hungry, ended up at the Limestone Inn in Mount Vernon, KY. My chicken fried chicken was pretty good (it's fried, and it's chicken). Also had a really good sweet potato and corn cakes, which are basically thin pancakes made from cornbread, I guess. Funny thing is I asked what kind of beer they had and the woman said "We just got a new one, called "Fat Tire"". Sold! I ordered one, not realizing when she said they just got it in, they JUST got it in. So it was pretty much room temperature, the frosted glass only did so much to help with that. But overall I liked my meal, unfortunately my darling's chicken panini was slimy. Anyway, when I asked how much more she had in her, she said "Aren't we driving straight through?" Sure, why not? I had both a White Sox and a Hawks playoff game to listen to. Still, that's a long drive and long story short, I was able to change our reservation to come in early and we rolled into Hilton Head at 2:30 AM. That's about it for the day, a lot of driving, but we're here!
