derby week

this week is derby week!

the ’skis met up with our friends/fellow derby goers last night to make the final plans for our trip to kentucky.  all four of us sat down at our dining room table with the intention of forming a rough agenda for our five days in the bluegrass state, however we were sidetracked multiple times by conversations about general patton, the correct pronouciation of louisville, how to make a kosher beef jerky food dehydrator, and which handbag would best match my derby hat.  we came away this agenda:

thurs: fly in to louisville (pronounced lou-a-vull).  check out 4th st and the louisville slugger museum.

fri: bourbon distilleries.  maker’s mark and woodford reserve.  buy maker’s mark t shirt and dip our own bottle.

sat: derby day!   put on hats and bowties, find our seats, place a bet on big brown, drink a mint julep, sing “my old kentucky home”, watch the best two minutes in sports.

sun: observe the day of rest.  hit up mammoth cave.

mon: visit locust grove.  fly home with all of our earnings from big brown. 

 

if any of you fine readers know of any sites-to-see in kentucky, please let us know!
