Days 10-13

I drove from Memphis to Nashville in the morning after Graceland, I got into Nashville and drove around a little bit and found the touristy part of town with all of the gift shops and stuff like that so I walked around a little bit but after like an hour I decided that Nashville wasn't really that appealing to me, it's pretty much the country music capital of the world, and since I don't like country music I didn't like it that much. So I was looking at my map trying to decide where to go next and I saw that there was a small town in southern Kentucky called Corbin! It was about 3 hours from Nashville but I didn't have anything better to do so I started driving. As I was getting into Corbin....hehe....I started seeing two billboards that were very interesting to me. One was of this really creepy cartoon baby that was funny, and the other was an advertisement for the birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken!!!! I had to go and see it, when I got there I was so excited that I practically ran through the front door and realized that it was a KFC/Museum all in one! I started taking a bunch of pictures of everything and looked around an everyone there was giving me like this dirty look for some reason because all of them were there to eat and I was just taking pictures. I went from there into downtown Corbin and realized that there was a fair type thing going on so I went to check it out and it was super lame so I left and went to Alabama.
The next day I pretty much hung out at starbucks all day because I was waiting for Zach to get off or whatever, but eventually he did and we hung out a little bit. I found out the legal smoking age here is 19 which is lame. Eventually we got bored and went and saw the Hangover. That was a funny movie! I got to sleep in a bed! it was spectacular!
The day after that we pretty much just scooted around town looking for stuff to do and we ended up longboarding, we were gonna go to a shooting range but you have to be 21 to rent a gun which is dumb. Later that night we went and saw District 9 which is also a good movie! After the movie we went to wal mart to get snacks and ended up buying almost 100 dollars worth of food, it was pretty ridiculous but totally awesome at the same time.
Yesterday was sunday and Zach had to go back to the base so we hung out for a while, then went to base and went bowling. I bowled a 71! then we went and hung out in the recreation center there and watched a movie. He went to formation after that and I went to starbucks then slept in a parking lot.
Right now I am in starbucks again, I had to log onto my online classes and I'm very happy to say that it will be easy for me to b.s. the first week while I'm gone and don't have textbooks. I think I am going to start driving toward Washington D.C. today, I don't think I want to stick around here another day considering there is a hurricane on it's way here.
