Kentucky

I have always thought Kentucky was a very pretty state

Driving south to Lexington and then taking the time

To drive through all the wonderful horse farms

We have stopped and toured the big horse park there

We have also visited small horse farms

Once we were allowed to touch a huge gelding that had run in the Derby

We have visited the Man O War Statue when

It was in its original location and also in its new place at the horse farm

Once on a back road in search of the statue

Linda left a monument of her own which is remembered with glee by her family

Mammoth Cave has been a place of many many memories for us

Carrying our two daughters (we only had two way back then) wet and crying

Up a 100 plus staircase is actually a fond memory

Camping there with children is another memory and staying in the white hotel

When I was young yet another

Driving there in our motor home with friends yet another memory

The eastern part of the state has many flea markets and Linda and

I have joyfully visited a few of them

Spending time in Louisville visiting our friends and being there

For his graduation from College another memory

The last time we were in Louisville we stayed at a rundown hotel that once was a great place

Driving along the river is a pretty and interesting drive

I-75 I would think is the most known of the interstates and is the main north south route

The Blue Grass Parkway is green and not blue but still a pretty drive

Towns like Owensboro, Elizabethtown, Bowling Green, and Campbellsville

Dot the landscape

The Land Between The Lakes with its monument to Jefferson Davis is a neat place to visit

A small replica of the Washington Monument

Dedicated to Jeff Davis of all things hidden in this place

Cumberland Falls is one of my favorite memories of Kentucky

The long climb out of Ohio and up past Covington is another of the drives often taken

Beautiful horses in a horse like setting all green and white fences are

What we remember most about Kentucky
