The secret Kentucky.

I don't know about you, but I had no idea what to expect in Kentucky. I don't really consider it the south, and it seems silly to associate it with KFC, although I guess that's where that came from. Well boy was I impressed. Practically the entire state is really beautiful rolling farm country, similar to PA, but somehow more striking. By the time we made it to horse country - in and around Lexington, think the Kentucky Derby - the miles of white plank fences and perfect farm houses and barns had already won me over. Lexington itself also has some amazing houses, though I have to snicker every time someone refers to it as a city.

But you're probably wondering why we went there... mostly for the bourbon! We toured two distilleries - Woodford Reserve and Maker's Mark - to learn about making bourbon, and then spent the night at a fancy restaurant chatting up their gay bartender and drinking way too much bourbon - he introduced us to 9 different bourbons all for the price of two! (No need to worry, he also drove us back to our motel.)

Much more I could say about Kentucky, but in short, I loved it. Sarah too, so hopefully she will tell you more. It's definitely a place I could see going back to for a longer vacation.
