Kentucky Horse Park & The Bourbon Trail

 
 
We stayed at the campground next door and then spent the rest of the day at the horse park where I got to pet many horses.  It was a good day!!
 


 






The Bourbon Trail
 
 
We started the day at the Woodford Reserve.  This was a wonderful tour for me because the tour guide allowed us to take tons of pictures. 
 
A lot of these are more artsy than informative but this place was so beautiful.  I hope you enjoy the photos.
 



 






 
 






 
 




 
 
 
 
 
 
So here we are where Bill's favorite beverage is brewed. 
I thought the last tour was great, but this one held a special suprise.  The master distiller Jimmy Russell got on our bus to finish the tour.  He was so much fun and had so much information to give.  A really sweet man.

Our next stop was the town of Frankfort and Rebecca Ruth Candies to take a tour and purchase some bourbon balls.  What a way to finish the day. 

We ate at a local restaurant called Gibby's and got the most wonderful home cooked food and fantastic service.




 





It was great trip with wonderful memories.
Now we are back in Michigan and looking forward to Athena and Nate's wedding.  I will have lots of wedding pictures to post so keep checking back.
