Montage Monday: Abe Does Kentucky

// August 29th, 2011 // America

Abe at Hurst Discount Drug diner, Bardstown, KY

As part of our road trip there is an “Abe Does America” series unfolding. Our road trip mascot is none other than an Abraham Lincoln bobblehead. He wasn’t actually our first choice, but he’s grown on us and has been quite the entertainer. It always makes for interesting conversation…. “Can I get a photo of you with Abe… my bobblehead?”

Here are photos from Abe’s time spent in Kentucky, his birthplace and our first stop on the road trip!

  1. Abe looks like hes been a having a lot of fun. I am sure the Jim Bean distillery was his favorite. Hopefully he didn’t get too crunk!

    Will Abe make it all the way to the west coast?

    • Laura says:

      Yes ma’am! Abe is eager to see the west coast… he was neglected in FL and GA and got a little upset but I think we’ll win him back when we get to New Orleans.

    Love this. There’s something about Abe’s face that makes him perfect for this series.

    The likeness of Abe to the real Abe photo is actually pretty impressive!

  10. Looks like you are having an awesome road trip! I once did a similar road trip theme, but used a silly band tree frog. How long is your road trip going to be?
