My 24th birthday was the second day of our Louisville trip and it was a blast. Not surprisingly, I wanted to go on a distillery tour – but not just any tour – the Buffalo Trace Distillery tour. This is the bourbon tour of bourbon tours, anyone can go on the Jim Beam or Makers Mark tours, but we made sure to call ahead and
And this my friends, is why Day 4 may have been the best night of the trip. Blackberry Farm. Really y’all, I’m having trouble even starting this post. I just know nothing I say or show you is going to even get CLOSE to how spectacular this experience was. Blackberry Farm is always a place that Ryan and I have wanted to visit. We just
Ok technically we headed out of Louisville on the 4th day of our trip, but it’s still the Louisville trip, so bear with me. Speaking of bears (sorry really corny, I know), we headed to Dancing Bear Lodge in Townsend, TN where we stayed for our last night of our trip. Not going to lie, this was definitely the best night of the trip. More
Yep, day 3 is still going strong. We sit down for a little drink and app because we’re so mealed out at this point (can you believe it?). Our bartender fills us in on all the great dinner and bar spots around town for our last night and then just happens to throw in a little bit about this jewel: The Urban Bourbon Trail. All
Ok really, we did do more than eat. Truly.Here’s some of the great things we crammed into our awesome little trip:One day when I’m rich and famous, I will own this $6K painting! Kathy Sullivan is definitely a top favorite artist. I had to bring a piece home with me, luckily she hand-stretched her Kentucky photo for this year’s Derby and I was lucky enough
Yes, I know, it looks like all we did this trip was eat! But, common, we couldn’t pass up Lynn’s Paradise Cafe. I mean she beat Bobby Flay in a breakfast throw down. And breakfast is my fav. This, by no means, was no normal breakfast. In fact, it was extraordinary, wacky and spectacular. Words can’t explain it, just. look. at. this. (Yes that is
Happy Birthday Ryan! The Derby was the weekend before we went to Louisville, but we decided that it wouldn’t be a proper trip without a visit to Churchill Downs. Tickets. Check. (for free, thank you hotel concierge) Preppy Atire. Check. Mint Juleps. Check. Mint Juleps in Official Derby Cups. Check. Betting. Check. I think we did it right! We were a little surprised by all
Last May I had the privilege of (very briefly) meeting Edward Lee, Chef/Owner of 610 Magnolia at the Le Creuset and Garden & Gun Chef’s Roundtable. When we decided that Louisville would be our anniversary destination, I knew we had to eat at 610 Magnolia. We made reservations way in advance and called when we got to Louisville to see if we could come early for a
We groggily arrived at our hotel in Louisville on Wednesday night around 1am ready to hit the sack and wake up fresh and ready to get out on the town the next day. When a peep of sunlight came through our blacked out hotel curtains Thursday morning, I could just tell it was going to be an epic day. And I was not disappointed one
We’re Louisville bound for our 1-year anniversary!! I can’t believe it will be one whole year since we’ve been married on Monday! Got any recommendations for us while we’re here?We’ve got some super exciting plans over these next few days, here’s a few of them: Bourbon Tour (Buffalo Trace) Churchill Downs 610 Magnolia 21C Museum Hot Browns at the Brown Hotel Sipping mint juleps (my
