Land Between the Lakes

Last week we traveled with two of the grand-kids to the Land Between the Lakes area in western Kentucky. We stayed at the Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Lodge. We traveled to see the Buffalo Prairie where we saw a herd of buffalo and several elk along with some wild turkeys. One of the favorite places the kids liked was the lodge swimming pool.

We ate at nearby Patti's 1880 Settlement restaurant. It was so good that we ate there both nights. The pork chops were either 1 inch or 2 inches thick and are very tender. Best pork chops I've ever had. The pies were piled high with meringue. Wanda and I split a piece of coconut pie while the kids had ice cream. Patti's is listed as the top rated restaurant in Kentucky in several publications. I might be able to validate that.

Patti's is not only a very good restaurant but the settlement area around the eatery contains much to do. There are several shops, a playground area, remote control boats, animals and several other activities available. The kids loved it - especially the remote control boats.
