The Commonwealth of Kentucky, nicknamed the "Blue Grass state," is located in the Southeastern United States and is primarily known for its horses, bourbon, basketball, and bluegrass music. If these aren't enough to interest you, the sprawling hills and open farm land make this a beautiful place to visit. A love for family and country music make the people here both friendly and inviting.

The history of the Commonwealth intrigues scholars from around the world. Both Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, and Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States at the same time, were born within just a few miles of each other in southwestern Kentucky.

Louisville is home to the Kentucky Derby, arguably the most famous horse race in the world and commonly known as "The most exciting two minutes in sports." The Queen of England witnessed the 133rd Derby from a terrace at Churchill Downs in 2007.

If the outdoors and nature interest you, Mammoth Cave is located in the western end of the state and offers some great caving and hiking opportunities. Natural Bridge has one of the few natural rock bridge formations in the country. Lexington and the Bluegrass region are full of open farms and plenty of horses for your viewing pleasure. Louisville offers fantastic restaurants and endless shopping opportunities.

Paducah = Quilt Museum

I awoke at 7:30 this morning and figured that Judy would already be up, showered, dressed, and tapping her toe waiting for me to pack the car and get on the road for her Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky.  She was still asleep!  But it didn’t take her long to awaken to my noises and we were pretty well ready to go in short period.  Down to a cold breakfast at the hotel, packed the car, checked out and on the road. We had about 90 miles to go to get to Paducah, including cros...

We made it back to Ashland and we met up with the rest of the family over at Aunt Ellen’s. Aunt Ellen and Uncle Tom’s place was the gathering place, because they were more or less the senior member’s of the family and had a large home. Uncle Delbert was too feeble to much hosting and Aunt Ann & Uncle Bill had moved into an apartment years ago. When we got back, Dad let me know that he want to visit with Aunt Opal. Aunt Opal is his sister-in-law. She had married his brother, Jimmy. S...

This is the 2nd long camping trip we have taken as a family.  This trip my husband and I are traveling with our girls who are 4(almost 5 but tells everybody she is 6), 3 and 17 months.  We have done several weekend trips but these long ones can prove stressful at times (no baby gates, letting a 3 and 4 year old share a bed and a 17 month old who thinks she is as big as her sisters:-)!  These are also the  trips that show you how much your kids really are growing ...
