I am so happy to be invited to take part in this event. Check out some of the places we "visited" when Mona stopped by to see me in my state of Kentucky...


First stop in Louisville, Kentucky - Churchill Downs - the home of the Kentucky Derby. A great place to go with your friends to watch horse-racing and enjoy some good food and drinks.





The Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in downtown Louisville is a fun place to visit. You can take guided factory tours, learn about the history of the world-famous Louisville Slugger baseball bat, as well as how the sport of baseball has changed through the years. When you arrive, you can order your own personalized baseball bat that will be ready to pick up by the time you leave.


Mona thought these miniature Louisville Slugger baseball bats were a fun souvenir.



Mammoth Cave National Park, in Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, is the world's longest known cave system, with more than 365 miles of explored cave passageways.





Kentucky's Bourbon Trail
Kentucky is home to bourbon. Take a scenic drive through Kentucky's Bourbon Trail to visit eight distilleries (Maker's Mark, Jim Beam, Wild Turkey, Buffalo Trace, and more). At each stop, you can learn how bourbon is made and sample various bourbons (if your are over 21). Click on the above link to read the fascinating history of bourbon in Kentucky.






Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill
