Time in Louisville

This pass weekend it was my birthday, my family and I decided
to take a mini vacation to Louisville (if you put two cotton balls in
your mouth and say Louisville then you will fit right in with the locals) Kentucky.

We loaded up on Friday Morning and hit
the road about 12:00 noon. Louisville is just about 4 1/2 hours
from Normal with with time change.

We arrived to our hotel downtown Louisville
with a warm temperature of 87.

We deiced to take a walk on the streets of downtown.



We had the privilege of listing to the Louisville boys and girls club drum line.

To our surprise the Kentucky Derby Festival was in full swing.
This is a festival that takes place the week before
the big race at Church Hill downs.
There are local bands, food, bike races and much much more.

Our walk that evening took us about six blocks over to the
hot spot of downtown Louisville. Fourth Street Live.




This is an area that the street is blocked off with no threw traffic. Day life is full of fun restaurants, shops, and street shows. Night life is for 21 years of age and older, the lights kick on and it is one big block party. Concerts in the middle of the street, people dressed up enjoying adult beverages and having a great time.


We had a few things that we came
acorss that we do not see every day.




Our fifteen year old dream car...




A bazaar bike rack.




Some of the street names... We even had a run in with one of the most famous guy's in town.






Yep, that is Kernel Sanders him self.


We ended that evening with a stroll by the Ohio river.



It was a great Friday night. I will post the next part of our mini vacation soon.
