Couldn't sleep so off we went at 3:45AM- heading South. Set our New talking Garmin GPS system for Taylorsville State Park near Taylorsville, KY. The GPS chatters away telling you how far, where to turn and if you make a mistake her favorite word is "recalculating". I say 'she' because the Garmin uses a soothing female voice. I suppose Garmin does that so when their information is incorrect it helps keep one calm.
We nicknamed the GPS ...
... don't know what to expect from Ireland, don't get me wrong It's gonna be a blast even if the highlight is gonna be the sceanary.
Just a little side note to everyone, (or to the one person that decides to read this), I have never been good at keeping up with these things, journals, blogs whatever. My intention is to write in this whenever possible but the fun may overtake me and I might not get around to it, but if ...

The saddest sight my eyes can see is that big ball of orange sinking slyly down the trees
Sitting in a broken circle while you rest upon my knee this perfect moment will soon be leaving me
Suzanne calls from Boston the coffee's hot the corn is high

... so waterproof) fly. We grilled quesedillas over the fire while marveling in the fact that we had access to real showers.
Today we drove north from Renfro Valley to the Lexington area to soak in the bourbon and horses. The land is incredible! Rolling hills, groomed horse pastures, blackboard fencing (for you horse nerds out there!). We arrived at the Kentucky Horse Park where we ...
... saw only 3 of them).
We saw First Defense, Mizzen Mast, and Empire Maker (who in recent years won at the Belmont Stakes). Empire Maker alone is worth about $15 million, and produces many champion babies that are sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Even though Empire Maker is a Belmont Champion (see his trophy), he likes to play by having his tongue grabbed and yanked around. We ...

I stepped in because of the ice cream cone painted on the window and thought I was transported through time.
... paddocks, stone fences, waterfalls, flowers and go over stone bridges before terminating at a mansion having scenic overlooks. Many "dry" stone fences are several miles long. While driving this very narrow tree covered Pike full of twists and curves, some of the hills are so abrupt that you'd probably get airborne if you drove at 100kph. None-the-less, its beautiful scenery fulfilled our images of Kentucky. Visited: · Downtown Lexington - Not much has changed since ...
Lexington, Kentucky, United States jimcabay... the lawns on these farms. They must employ somebody full time just to maintain the grounds and the fences. Also, I can see why Kentucky is known not only for their race horses but also for their Kentucky Bourbon. It seems like there is a bourbon distillery every five miles and the Jim Beam Distillery is just down the street from us. Another thing we noticed was the number of Sonic fast food joints. They are like the old A & W's - you drive in and they come to your car to serve you.
Frankfort, Kentucky, United States jimcabay... hardly any horses - and certainly no 'bluegrass'! We managed to find the campground we were staying at very quickly. It only has 3 spare spaces at any given time, because people book & leave their caravans/motorhomes there all year round (but only staying in them over the summer season). We set the 5th wheel up and cranked up the air conditioning (we saw a high of 38 degrees today) before we had lunch and drove ...
Harrodsburg, Kentucky, United States alvrez... a deer. At one point, driving along the Interstate, I spot a large, dead animal on the edge of the right-away. Two men in hunting gear are sprinting from their SUV towards the creature. I assume they didn't kill it but just want to claim it for their own ...
