Road Trip to Lebanon

Linda had wanted to go to Lebanon, TN to see what the Classic Cars SE business was like, so today, I looked up the address and programed it into the Street Atlas GPS on our notebook PC. Stacey, Linda and I loaded into the HHR and headed towards Burkesville and following the directions on the PC. We took 61 south from Burkesville to TN and then 53 through Celina and along the Cumberland River for 75 miles. We changed over to US 70 and drove another 20 miles to almost Lebanon. The GPS told us we were getting near Classic Cars SE, so we watched and sure enough there was the shop. We pulled in and parked, then went inside. We were surprised to have to pay $5 a person to go inside and look around. I said, "I thought this was a car sales place?" The lady said it was that and a 'museum' too, and they charged admission, but if we bought a car, they would refund our ticket prices. I paid and we walked in and started looking around. There were probably 40 cars inside a large building.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
Almost all of the cars pictured above are for sale. They are fairly nice cars, but not show cars, more of the daily driver type. We probably looked around in there for 45 minutes or an hour, then back in the HHR and drove to Applebee's for lunch. Linda had picked up a tourism booklet when we left the car place and figured out that there were several antique shops on the town square in Lebanon, so after eating we drove to the square and parked. Stacey followed Linda and I followed them both through the various shops.
   
   
There was a log cabin on the square that had an artesian well flowing through the small space left for the old building.
 
There were quilt shops with lots of material and quilts inside.
   
There was one shop that must have had 200 stained glass windows hanging from the ceiling. They also had antiques setting everywhere. There were other shops that I didn't take pictures inside, that had been there for a long time and had real old furniture and all kinds of old odd things. We left Lebanon a little before dark and headed east on I-40 to Cookeville. Linda had me stop at a couple of places in Cookeville and then we drove on home.
