So, for our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, my husband who does occasionally have a romantic bone in his body, suggested a day trip to Louisville, KY, to visit bookstores. We left town in the morning and had lunch at the Big Boy in Corydon.
Gotta love anyplace that serves sweet potato fries!
The drive to Louisville is very pretty.
We ended up at the Half-Price Books store on Hurstbourne first:
We found all kinds of fun things. Some of my characters are game designers and they had a section of games and all things geek:
We also went to the other Half-Price on the other side of town and the Books A Million in the area too. We got quite a haul:
This is just one of three piles of books. Not that we needed them, but it's what we've always done when we went out of town. I love running around with my husband to find out of the way stores. We spent the night and ate at Waffle House in the morning, making another stop off before we headed back home.
My first novels start out in Las Vegas, with four sisters on a bachelorette party for the oldest, who is getting married later that week. They had to move the trip and the wedding up when she got pregnant. Since they went during the week, the rates were very reasonable.
My parents were always up for an adventure too. Sometimes, before the time of cell phones, I'd try to call them and find out later they had gone over to one of the area casinos.
So, do you have a favorite, spur of the moment adventure? I highly recommend them, even if it's just getting out of town for lunch.
Sounds like a great anniversary adventure! I am hoping to find time for a good day trip soon!
