Finding More Louisville Attractions

While researching other activities and interesting places to visit in Louisville, we came across several that might be enticing. The most interesting is an area that is called Historic Frankfort Ave. It is an area in downtown that is like a huge outside mall, except there are no large super stores or big name stores. The reviews are excellent and it is a place where the locals like to go, in addition to out of town visitors. There is also the Louisville Zoo, which is a world class zoo and very interactive. It has been quite awhile since we have been to a zoo and that may be a fun place to go if we have time. There are many other options on the website (Tripadvisor) that has rated and described the most popular places to visit. It promises to be an interesting, and we hope fun weekend.

There are some other places we are targeting to visit in Kentucky while we are here. There is Mammoth Cave National Park located in south central Kentucky, and the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green - one of the few cars I haven't owned at some time over the years and always wanted to own. There is also the Historic Railpark Train Museum which is also located in Bowling Green. There are some other places that aren't too far away - like in Lexington - that also could be interesting. Of course, we still have 1 more distillery to visit to complete our Bourbon Trail visits. One place we have to visit before we leave here is a Thoroughbred breeding farm - you haven't been to Kentucky until you visit one of those. There are many from which to choose, so that will be another task.

It's the same old story on the weather and work. Hot, humid and hazy days, and the normal physical routine at work. It will probably remain this way until around late September when most of the other workampers will be here. The only significant change for us is that we have signed up for voluntary overtime for next week, and we are considering doing that every other week. It may turn out to be every week, but we are enjoying the 3 days off right now. Until tomorrow...
