day 4 & 5 = on the road to louisville, ky

now on our way to kentucky!

love the drive into ky.  so many trees everywhere.

found this bar/diner next to our hotel.  turned out to have really good fried green tomatoes :)

went to downtown louisville and walked around.  went past the original louisville slugger.

thats a big bat!

awesome building downtown

i shrunk :)

slugger factory.  they were making pink bats.

an awesome museum.  love that they painted the building blue.

drove past churchill downs.  was a bit disappointing because the area surrounding was dumpy.  not at all what i expected going there.  but im sure it pretty inside the grounds.

 then took a drive to visit the temple...

 pretty windows

 best pick i could get of us :)
at night we went to see the temple. such a cute little temple and it shares the same parking lot as the church building.
 goodnight to day 4....


hello day 5, in louisville.

we went to our zappos fullfilment center and took an awesome tour.  that place is crazy big and sooooooo many shoe boxes.  we are lucky we got to see it before its switches over to amazon in a few months.

we went to dinner with grace who was our tour guide at zfc .  she took us to this awesome restaurant that is in the basement of house.  great menu!

my delish elk burger!


for day 6... we took one last stop before exiting louisville.  we went to lynns paradise that has been on bobby flay throwdown.  

 how about these used tea bags held up by suspenders.... nutsy

 so crazy inside

 he is excited!

 amazing french toast....
good way to leave louisville... full :)

day 3 = heading to indiana

before leaving st. louis for indiana, we left with a bang... at the zoo. 
the st. louis zoo is free!!  and was much more than i expected.

 

the elephants were the most entertaining thing at the zoo.  have you ever seen an elephant pee?

 

 

 

 goodbye st. louis, you have been good to us... now on our way to evansville, in.

 

 love the old churches everywhere

 ate at the famous pizza king.  they are known for their strombolis.  not you average one either.  but still good. :)

day 2 = chillin in st. louis

our second day in st. louis.
us and the woods (hubs sis fam) started the morning with a la quinta breakfast and then church.
then we headed over to the st. louis lds temple to walk around and have a picnic.  the grounds were beautiful.

cute sisters...

eating some peanut and honey sandwiches.  thanks erin!

then we headed to the st. louis arch.  on the way in we took some more pics.

 

after walking through the museum under the arch, we went out to the steps in front of the river.  got to relax for a bit before walking to spaghetti factory for lunch.
