Day 25 - Paducah, KY (Day 3)

It's sunny and pretty warm (90 degrees) today ... a good day for more sightseeing.

We started with breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then headed for the downtown historic district.

First stop was at the Market House Museum.

Next, we walked a few blocks to the Paducah Railroad Museum.  It had a model railroad, lots of historical anecdotes, and a train engine simulator.

We had a surprise and a bit of fun as we headed back to the market district area.  Four separate teams of new Delta Zeta pledges from Murray State University wanted to take a picture of Dick ... they needed a picture of a man with a hat for a scavenger hunt.  He was happy to oblige.
Oh, to be young again!
Carol is a Delta Zeta, so she got to
exchange the secret handshake.

We had a nice conversation with an owner of a fashion shop on Marine Way and then went to the Tilghman House & Civil War Museum.

The evening was dedicated to catching up on college football and watching the Ohio State - TCU game.
