Sight Seeing


There were so many interesting sights to see. Everywhere you looked there was an amazing building or some history to learn about. Along with that there were some great chooses for food. We ate very well at great restarants. One night we went to Texas Roadhouse and then found out that it was the first one ever built and had been visited by many famous people like Willy Nelson. The architucture was amazing. I loved the old buildings. I was sad that some of the new hugh rise buildings over powered the older ones. We visited a cathedral that held an orphanage during World War II. It was undescribable. Because of the Kentucky Derby, there were horses on almost every corner. Each one painted to depict something in the city. Gary was so excited to see one with an EMS theme. We were walking by the visitors center one day and spotted Colonel Sanders. He was a wax figure but he seemed to real. The center was closed but we came back the next day to get our picture taken with him and read about how he started Kentucky Fried Chicken. The girls said that they could not leave Kentucky without trying the chicken. It turned out that it didn't taste any different that it does at home.
