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.
