For most RVers they know what the “it” factor is for them. Those out there that don’t know what we mean. It is just the place that feels right to you.. This is certainly “it” for us….
We left Kentucky about 10am Wednesday morning following Mac and Netters to Tennessee.
We arrived a bit early, due to the time change at
We got really excited and it was evident that this was a very beautiful place…
Our site wasn’t available, as check out isn’t until 3pm and it was only 1:30, they told us to park next door at Lisa and Tony’s site until ours was vacant. So we watched Mac and Netters set up and we patiently waited, and waited and waited…. Tony arrived and he parked in another space for the time being and we all waited and waited and waited… 3pm arrived and still no one was home at the MH parked in our site… We knocked and knocked but no answer. We were a little worried because the outside light was on..We finally moved to another site so that Tony could get his trailer set up. Mac and Kevin headed to the office around 3:45 and explained the situation. They said they would try to reach the people. At 4:30 a campground host arrived to tell us, they had reached the folks and they were on the other side of Nashville and thought they had another day in the site. Yikes! We were not happy campers at this point. We just wanted to get set up.. They offered us another site for the night and told us we could move into ours either when the folks returned or next morning. We decided to hook up in the replacement site. We had now been waiting 3 hours! We went ahead and had our happy hour with our friends. When the folks returned they didn’t even apologize, they just hooked up. The office had suggested they pay us for the night which they did, after we asked. We still couldn’t believe they didn’t seem sorry. She mumbled something like this has happened to us before.. Well then, they should have known better. All we were really looking for was a Big Sorry….It takes all kinds… Anyway, it didn’t keep us from having a good night with friends. In this beautiful place there is no way, one could stay mad…
Next morning, we moved to our spot, nestled between Mac and Netters and Lisa, Tony, Rick and Tez..
This is our site…
This is out in back of our site…
Here are a few of the gang….
This is how we end our day…(before we have our campfire)
It just doesn’t get better then this…Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery and absolutely wonderful, fun friends!!!!!
Today we all started our day with breakfast at this Denny’s..
Kind of a nostalgic looking place..
Then we headed to Churchill Downs..
And the home of the Kentucky Derby Museum…
We paid our admission and took a look through the museum…the guys found themselves goofing off…
And competing on a horse track…
We watched clips of great past races….
And saw these pretty silks from the jockeys…
After a short movie we headed to see the track and finish line….
Behind us is the Winners Circle they use only for the Kentucky Derby….
The tote board….
The day after the Derby they paint this statue with the winning jockey colors…
This is Phantom on Tour a Former thoroughbred that resides here at Churchill Downs. He is the great grandson of the great Secretariat.
What a fabulous tour. We really enjoyed it all….. But now time for a refreshment, so we headed to a Winery… for a little taste!
Back home this is the lineup….Left to Right the Donley’s the McHenry’s and the Sullivan’s…
Then a little discussion on where to have dinner…
Tomorrow we head to Tennessee…so stay tuned!
We arrived at Grandma’s RV Park in in Shepherdsville, Kentucky early Sunday afternoon, just in time to set up and watch some football. We had a relaxing afternoon after travelling 129 miles.
This is a neat little, clean park and we are parked next to Mac and Netters and next to them is Chuck and Kathy. Kathy had prepared dinner for us, so around 6p we headed over to their home. Yummy, is the way to describe the roast and veggies. What a treat!
Monday we headed to the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory
We started out with a movie and then had a tour of the factory. No pictures allowed in the factory. It was amazing to watch them put out so many bats so fast. What a process.. At one station they were working on bats for Evan Langoria of the Tampa Bay Rays for the World Series.
After the tour Kevin and the guys took turns getting up at bat. Kevin chose David Ortiz bat…
Posing with statue of Ted Williams…
There were bats everywhere…even on the ceiling..
After a quick lunch we headed to see…
General Patton..
Then down the road to….
This is as close as we could get..wonder why?
On our drive home we took a drive past…
I didn’t much care for the smell this place puts out..yuck!
We ended our day at the Zappo Shoe Outlet. I ended up with two pairs of shoes. Have no idea where I will put them, but couldn’t resist the sale. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, right???!
