Above is the new "front door" of Xavier University, very close to our home and we are headed out of town. Yes, we are on the road again. This trip, though, it is not to go to a port to board a ship.
For My Honey's birthday we took a road trip to Kentucky. We are on our way to Bardstown to enjoy some good food and visit some historical sites. We were there a few years ago and knew we wanted to return so this is a great time to do it.
I made a reservation for three nights at the Hampton Inn and we have a general idea of what we will do there, but no specific plans.
We built in flexibility for this trip and used it well. I hope you'll join us again tomorrow as we take a little tour over toward the Lincoln Trail.
All the best,
Lois

Programming note: We are on board a ship at sea when this post will appear. Although I have email 24/7 at sea and your comments will appear this week, I am only able to upload images on Sundays when I have a fast enough connection with enough band width. So, this week will be posts of activities just before we left home for the ship. Ship images coming next week. Enjoy! :) -LAE

Love Kentucky's horse country! I have never been to Kentucky, but it might be worth considering! I'm a horse lover from way back.

What beautiful country side Lois! Can't wait for more photos of your Kentucky side trip. Enjoy your cruise!
Lovely drive! Kentucky is such a beautiful state...even it's name is perfect!
It's Kentucky's Premier Luxury Tourist Inn, Lois. I googled it for you.
Lexington, Kentucky home builder, Rex Martin(rich from the "coal boom") built it 25 years ago. He and his new bride honeymooned in Europe, where she fell in love with castles. Upon their return, he built the castle, but they divorced before it's completion.

Hi Everyone,
Yes, that was a wonderful trip. I have so many great images of places we visited, too. We are on the ship now so I have quite an overlap of images from home, on the way here, and here. It'll all work out. ;)
Thank you, Wanda, for looking up that castle for us! What a shame that the people who built such a "romantic" place didn't have a long lasting marriage. :\
Thanks to all for stopping by and for your very kind comments.
All the best from out here in the Caribbean where we are having a very rocky sea day going around yet another storm.
Lois :)
I love your pictures and your comments.
Enjoy your cruise!
Traveling through such beauty. Lucky lucky! Love the header. :-)
Lois it looks like the castle of the Thomas R. Post family. It is a luxury hotel from what I can tell. If it's the same one that I found online. Very beautiful as is Kentucky. Enjoy your cruisin'!! Love Di ♥
Kiijs kuje Kjell had a nice getaway for his birthday before your real getaway and return to sea.
Sounds like this will be a good trip...I am glad someone told what the castle is.
Beautiful country! I'm looking forward to Bardstown.
