Weekend trip to the Bluegrass State

Cathy surprised me for my birthday with a weekend trip to Louisville. It was great to get away. We stayed at the historic 1905 Seelbach Hilton Hotel, in the heart of downtown. We were a block off of the 4th Street Live! entertainment complex. The hotel has enjoyed guest the likes of Al Capone, F. Scott Fitzgerald and nine U.S. presidents and the Oak Room was featured in the Paul Newman movie "The Hustler."

While in Louisville, we toured the Kentucky Derby Museum at Churchhill Downs, shopped along quirky Bardstown Road and ate at the Bluegrass Brewing Company and Wick's Pizza Parlor. (The Wick needs in on that action. They're using his name!) We did not however get to enjoy any mint juleps. Maybe next time.....or maybe next weekend!
