Louisville

I was in Louisville, Kentucky a little while ago for business and had an amazing time! Before the business part of the trip I got to stay in the Cabins of Birch Hollow in Spade, KY for a night. Holy cow those cabins are amazing! If you and your family happen to be out that way, I recommend staying there. Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms.

We took a sky lift up to the top of the gorge to see the Natural Bridge. It was exactly like a ski lift but much steeper. Good thing I'm not afraid of heights!

The next day I got to see how Woodford Reserve bourbon is made. Very interesting and long, long process. After the tour of the distillery, I went to where the Kentucky Derby is held: Churchill Downs. It was fun to watch the horses race but during one race, I think one horse tripped over another because he went down and his jockey quickly got out of the way. It was scary! I also tried a "Lily" which is a version of a "Cape Codder" but with grenadine. It was a very sweet drink. I only won $5 all day which was not very good I must say!

While I was in Louisville I got to go to the Louisville Sluggers factory and I saw so many famous MLB players' bats and how they were made. They are made on a lathe and the machine can make 24 different bats from memory. Pretty impressive! There was also a little "museum" part of the factory where there was all kinds of information on MLB players and their bats.

There was a local Mexican restaurant El Mundo that I went to. They have amazing margaritas! I tried their Pomegranate Margarita. Delicious! Their food is very authentic and fresh.
