I did a tour and tasting at Rabbit Hole distillery today. It was a great tour and you got to see the whole process up close. Amazing operation. I’m bringing home a bottle of the Dareringer.

Visited Churchill Downs yesterday. Hanging out in Kentucky. Seems appropriate to watch Secretariat.

Our family is hosting our first Things 4 Good Fall Fundraiser! We’ll be raising money for four good causes by selling Wicky Thing Candles, Jiggy Thing Puzzles, and some additional surprises! Great for presents or home!

Damn fine Chocolate Chip Cookies from Please & Thank You in Louisville.

Artwork on the side of The Holy Goat in Louisville, KY.

Fun Brandy Tour today at Copper & Kings distillery. It was interesting to see how different a distillery is from a brewery.

Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory

We went to the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory today. Learned that it takes 47 seconds for a computer to lathe a professional bat. And the many batters have custom specifications that their bats are made to. Very cool place.

Churchill Downs Tour

We visited Churchill Downs today and took the Superstars & Spires Tour. The history of the race, the venue, and the horses. It made me want to go to the Kentucky Derby someday! 🏇

Just bought tickets to see the new Dune on Thursday when we are staying in Indianapolis. I’m super excited to see it. The whole family is going.

Checked in to the coolest Airbnb we have ever stayed at, a restored 175 year old church! Incredible space detailed and appointed perfectly. 🤩

Construction on I-65 down to a single lane south of Indianapolis causing a 45-minute backup of traffic. 😳

Quick stop at Albanese Factory Outlet Store on the way to Louisville. Best Gummy Bears!

Mazie and Tyler both love Home Run Inn frozen pizza. We made a point to try it “in real life” in Chicago, skipping the freezer aisle for the first time. Everyone loved it and thought the frozen option was amazingly close to the “real thing”.

Chicago (2021)

Looking great Chicago! 👋

Demand Justice sculpture opposite Buckingham Fountain in Chicago.

I loved the warm, cherry wood decore of the Chicago Athletic Association hotel. Fun spot to stay right in downtown Chicago.
