For the first time in my life I was able to go out and visit my Great Grandmother Nettie in Kentucky. She came out to California on my first day of Kindergarten as well as my high school graduation. This was a huge treat! Thank you Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Eva! I traveled out with my grandparents and Aunt Barbara! So fun to be with her and see our similarities!
Kentucky is beautiful! Rolling green hills as far as one can see, no fence lines in neighbors, just green grass that rolls from one yard onto the next. Horse ranches with not white but black fences (surprising to me too!)
We went to visit Louisville, home of Kentucky basketball! Louisville Slugger where they manufacture all the bats for the Major Leagues. Hiked to the Natural Bridge, visited the homes my great grandma grew up in and raised her children in, went on a boat ride on the Kentucky River (pretty dirty river-but still pretty!), and visited Church Hill Downs.... and yes we snuck into the real Jockey's jerseys! My favorite quote from the trip was my Grandma Nettie. With "Hey! Did you know what?"
