So I know it's a little late, but I still have to post about our real Thanksgiving... So here it goes. Scottie and I decided to do a little sight seeing and we took a trip down to Kentucky over our Thanksgiving break. We went to Churchill Downs (where the Kentucky Derby is) and watched some horse racing. Too bad I am not a betting gal because I picked the winning horse three times in a row. (I would have won over a 100 dollars on a 2 dollar bet!).
And they're off!!! The horses were so fast! Each race was done in about 1-2 minutes!

Us in the front of Churchill Downs...This pic really doesn't do it justice, this place was HUGE!
Next we were off to the Golden Corral to stuff ourselves for our Thanksgiving Feast #2!
The next day we went to the Mammoth Caves (the longest cave in the world), did some sight seeing, and took a really neat tour! The caves are in this really cute touristy town, so we had to take lots of fun pictures!!! That night we went down town and watched a little parade thing where Santa Claus himself made an appearance and lit the city's lights. We all sang Christmas songs and watched the beautiful lights. Scottie and I loved this part and thought it was a wonderful way to usher in the Christmas season.
Because of good advertising Scottie and I had to checkout Big Mike's Rock Shop! We had blast goofing around here.
Yes those are giant undies in the background!
Some random person offered to give me 25 cents so I could actually ride the ride! No JOKE.
Had to stop here a take a pic. Our nephews love dinosaurs...so this one is for them.
Longest cave in the World!!! I took a picture to prove it.
We descended over 150 feet initially...That's over 250 steps!
This part of the cave is called Frozen Niagara...I have never seen anything like it before. Simply amazing!
Day #3 in Kentucky we went downtown again and saw the Louisville Slugger (biggest baseball bat in the world) and walked around down by the water front.
Some strange modern art with chickens...we couldn't figure it out.
We found a double swing overlooking here and we chatted about life for a while and then headed home. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving and I am grateful for a sweet husband who plans memorable vacations for us!
