My husband use to have Captain's meetings in Paducah. I would go with him and never got into "much" trouble!! I didn't know you could sew at Quilt in a Day!! Darn...too bad he's not with the same company!!! Of course when we went he drove..I just drove around Paducah. I say go for it!!!! I did drive with two other ladies to the show in '10. IT was awesome!!! I don't know how far it was...but it took us over 10 hours to get there. that's about what it use to take my husband to drive home from there and he only stops for gas!!!
