Kentucky- Louisville Area

How do you pronounce it anyway?

Bats are formed on automatic lathes in less then thirty seconds each!

Part of the tour is a museum of baseball that sure brought back memories of my love of the game as a kid.

Signatures of players that have contracted with Louisville Slugger over the years are arranged by decade. I enjoyed finding all of my favorite Detroit Tigers from my childhood.

Nate and I took swings at balls from pitching machines at the museum.

We stopped by Churchill Downs, although we ended up not having time to tour the race track. It was buzzing with activity as the Kentucky Derby was only two weeks away.

We stopped in and visited my aunt Francine Kirkwood before heading on from Louisville.

We also spent a day in Berea, a center for Kentucky craft artisans. What a tedious job loom work is!
