We had tried unsuccessfully to get the part we needed for the A/C unit yesterday afternoon, so it was up to me and Auggie to get the job done today before leaving Bardstown. Chris had talked to the owner yesterday and they were pretty sure they had what we needed, but since we were having trouble making any calls on our phones in the area, I basically had to show up with a list and pictures from Chris. Although I'm not afraid to do it, being the messenger like that always reminds me of how little I know about some things. August waited patiently like the awesome little guy he is.
A couple of the workers went out of their way to make sure we got the right part, and even climbed up on the roof and installed it for us at no charge to verify it would work. It took them a little while to find the right part, and they actually ended up installing it twice because they didn't think the first one they put in would last us very long. After all of that and the owner coming in to give advice on the best type of capacitor for our needs, they basically only charged me for the part! I guess there are benefits to looking like a drifter woman in an RV with a baby. I can't say enough good things about our experience with this place, so if you're ever in Bardstown in need of anything HVAC be sure to call Brown's.
Afterwards we went back to My Old Kentucky Home State Park and made a quick drive through the park itself. I would have liked to see the Federal Hill Mansion there that legend has it inspired the song "My Old Kentucky Home", but it was naptime by then and August was already asleep so there was only one thing to do - make the drive to our next stop.
Our trek was less than an hour and a half today, which was much appreciated. We drove to Rough River Dam State Park and found a campsite right on the lake here.
Chris' dad and stepmom were down in Kentucky for a big sale yesterday, so today they came down and took us out for pizza at Little Dave's. It was a good visit, and the pizza (we learned that Rick, Sally and I all like "the works") was especially delicious. Chris got a huge calzone bigger than his plate and had no trouble finishing it off of course.
For the first night in a few days, were able to do an early bedtime to help Chris with his early morning starts.
Side note: August wants Grandma Buck to know that Mommy is doing a good job of spoiling him in her absence this summer on the trip - he got a new hat he picked out at a gas station today.
