Last Minute Louisville
We took a last minute trip to Louisville over the weekend. When I say last minute, I mean I think we got the last possible hotel room within a 10 mile radius of Louisville.
We stayed in Clarksville which has a Bass Pro Shops store. The store is massive and we spent hours there. The kids love it.
It has a real creek through the store with a lot of wildlife. There is a huge aquarium at one end:
There's a game section where you can shoot laser type guns and hit targets which make animals jump or little shows happen. Lots of fun. If you shoot the right target on this one, the rhino comes out:
And, for Memorial Day weekend Bass Pro Shops had crafts and games for kids. Keegan won a sleeping bag by finding an object using a metal detector. They also took free photos. Here's ours. Classy, right?
Bass Pro Shop is like a redneck Disney World, I suppose. We felt right at home.
We also visited the Louisville Slugger Museum and toured the factory to see how they make baseball bats. A few hours later Keegan asked, "How do they make bats?" as if he never saw the tour. Money well spent? You decide.
Here they are sitting on a giant mitt:
And, we went swimming at the hotel:
And, ate. And, ate. And, ate. We went to The Pie Kitchen twice on the same day. Is that even allowed?
I came home with lots of bags to unpack, lots of laundry, tired kids, about 200 ants on my kitchen floor that took over while we were gone..... and, most importantly--- lots of memories!! Happy Memorial Day!
