It was time to bid farewell to Dale and Staci in Pickerington, OH this morning and strike out once more on the road, bound today for the Bluegrass State. We got a late start and then hit some massive construction traffic snarls around Cincinnati (if driving through this area, stay off of I-71!). But we decided to press on, wanting to see some of Louisville, Kentucky and with perseverance, we made it!
We got to visit the home of the Louisville Slugger (www.sluggermuseum.0rg), the baseball bat that has been produced here since the late 1880's. Talk about a special time, it was a real thrill to see such famous parts of baseball history such a Babe Ruth bat and other equipement that was used by Honus Wagner, Pete Rose and others. Beginning with the world's largest baseball bat that stands at the entrance, this place is a real eye-opener from start to finish!!!
Given the time, we paid a quick visit before leaving Louisville to the Cathedral of the Assumption, one of the oldest Roman Catholic Cathedrals in the country. It made for a special end to our time in this river front city. We did drive past the famous horse track, Churchill Downs, but it was already closed for the afternoon so we kept heading south.
Our next stop was in Hodgenville, KY - the birthplace of Abrahma Lincoln. There is still a feeling of small-town America that permiates this small town. If you are in the area, stop by!
We ended our day in Munfordville, KY which is just north of Mammoth Cave National Park (which is our destination tomorrow morning after church).
Tomorrow we see a national park and then head into Nashville, TN! Come back and see what we actually do see!
