Louisville, Kentucky: Part 2

We spent last night watching Alex Reymundo perfom at the Comedy Caravan.  He gave us free tickets.  Thanks Alex! Those bad boys were only $3 each! This morning we had to leave Louisville to get to our next exciting destination!  But, first, did I mention our KOA had a pool and a hot tub? This […]

Louisville, Kentucky: Part 1

Oh Kentuckyucky.

Then we went to the Krohn’s Conservatory (free!) […]
