Holiday Inn Lexington-North, Ky

... have a couple mins in your day, stop back by and see if it's being updated. It will also depend if I can get some free wifi on the trip. <br> Our flight is leaving from Cincinnati (CVG) at 1408 I believe, and after a couple hours of being in the air we stop at JFK for a 3 hr layover and then it's off on a 7hr flight to Ireland which I believe we will be arriving there at 0700 local time. The jet lag is gonna be a B%*(*#.

... br>So we begun our trip today at 4:30 AM from PeeWee Valley, KY. We're driving straight through all states towards Florida. All 14 or so hours. How exciting!? Actually not that exciting. We were smooth sailing through Kentucky with no problems. We stopped in mine and Diana's favorite city. Rich-City (Richmond), Kentucky for some breakfast at Waffle House.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>< br>

... the world (for a lesson on the making of bourbon see the photos!). The tour was great and we were able to sample their final product at the end of the tour (of course this was a highlight, and Adam felt he needed a bottle- for purely scientific purposes of course....) Upon leaving the distillery we realized we hadn't eaten all day so we headed for some grub in Lexington. We happened ...

We took off with the fifth wheel up to Lexington, KY, where we would see some champion horses at Juddmonte Farms. That evening, when we got in to Lexington, we checked in at the RV park at the Kentucky Horse Park. It's quite a nice area. Then we went and ate at Bob's Big Boy, where Ashley had (what else??) a bacon cheeseburger! ;-)<br><br>On Saturday morning, we started the day off in fine Southern ...

... encomp********* city blocks. It was interesting to note that Lexington has a beautiful Opera House and I saw several ads for upcoming live theatre presentations. When we went to the local historical museum Jim asked the receptionist why they were playing classical music and not Bluegrass? She made it pretty clear that Bluegrass belongs in southern Kentucky and is not really popular in Lexington. It leads me to believe that in her opinion the people here are more ...

... one Vice President - Richard M. Johnson. · State Capitol - Built from limestone, it is considered to be the finest capitol building in the nation. Outside, there's a large "floral clock" measuring 34 feet across that sits on a stone pedestal inside a planter weighing 100 tons. It takes more than 10,000 plants to fill. · Vietnam Veterans Memorial - A unique and original memorial where a Sundial's gnomon shadow points to the soldier on the date of his death. · Switzer ...

Since I have to test a photo, might as well make it worthwhile. PACKING TIDBIT #1 - VEHICLE MEDICAL KIT I packed the medical kit for my truck in an old Betty Boop lunchbox. The mirror is left over from when I carried it as a handbag, but it might come in handy if I have to tweezer a porcupine quill out of my face. ha ...

Well this is a horse lovers paradise and I am a confessed horse lover so wow! I have dragged Brent to the Calgary Stampede and also to watch my cousins kids compete at Spruce Meadows for a couple of summers now and this was just a add on to those horsey activities that he has to bear. The only camp ground is all of Lexington happens to be at the horse park and so you can park your RV and swim in the very ...

... 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 ...

... him don't you. Lordy, can't I just look? After the cheap whisky & the ride I still had ahead of me to G/H, I said my good-byes. The girls didn't want me to leave & the boys gave me a hug & kiss good-bye. Mhoo kissed me on both cheeks then on my lips & "Yae" yells; Jade that kiss is for me! I tell ya, if my room was in town they'd all be walking me home that night. I had such a great time at Crossroads. I arrived back @ Rim Nam around 1am. The boy was there again waiting for me. I ...
