Kentucky Trip

Tyler and I had a nice little trip to Kentucky during his break from school. We were able to escape VA right as the snow started. It snowed the whole way through WV and things got a little tricky but we made it! This ice/snow driving is no fun! While in KY we were able to hit on a few highlights of the state. Basketball is a HUGE deal! We enjoyed a basketball game at the Rupp Arena because Ole Miss happened to be playing Kentucky while we were visiting. Although Ole Miss lost, the game was fun and the experience of the Rupp was really neat!
Another biggie in KY is horse racing. We drove through the famous Keeneland tracks but there was not much action this time of year. The track was bigger than we expected! Maybe one day we can take a trip during the Derby =)

Lastly KY is known for the "Bourbon Trail". One afternoon we drove to the Maker's Mark Distillery and took a tour. It was really neat to see how the whiskey is made. It's quite a science! I think my favorite part was watching them dip the bottles in the trademark red wax.

We were glad to get away for a few days and escape being snowed in during the big winter storm. We have TONS of snow on the ground and actually had to come home a day late because the roads were so bad. We are really glad to be back home with our Doc. We sure do miss him when we travel without him!
