We slept in a little late this morning, but after getting some addresses for a couple of Louisville's more odd attractions online, and loading all our stuff back into the van, we headed out to find them. (This is just KASEY's stuff for a few days, good thing she packs light, eh? *L*) So, we were off...thank God for our GPS, there is NO way we'd have been able to find some things without it! 
We started with Colonel Sanders gravesite, in Cave Hill National Cemetery. A yellow line from the Cemetery entrance leads to the grave, and there are security guards as you enter, along with video security all over the cemetery. But what a beautiful cemetery it IS!! Lots of great landscaping, and monuments. 
Since it was pretty late in the morning, we decided ahead of time to get an order of Kentucky Fried Chicken and bring it with us for a funny photo op with the Colonel. *G* I really liked some of the statues and monuments, other ones, like this creepy man who seemed to be wanting to usher us to our grave (?), I didn't like so much. *G* 
We found a part of Louisville that was a lot like Brady Street in Milwaukee, and stopped at Lynn's Paradise Cafe and Gift shop for some "coffee". 
And I met a moose friend...(too bad I couldn't bring this back for John and our moose garden & deck in our backyard. *L*) The gift shop here was a lot of fun, and had some unusual things! We tried to find some other odd things, but some of them turned out to be just really stupid or not at all what they were billed to be, or we just couldn't locate them...ah well... we headed down the road, 60 degrees and overcast when we left Louisville... and rain, sometimes really heavy as we headed toward Nashville. 
We stopped to see the "world's largest crucifix" in Bardstown, KY, and along the way saw a giant rooster (everyone has these roosters these days it seems!.*L*) 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I have more photos to add to this day's travels... just no time to do it right now... too tired...*yaaaawn* We had a wonderful time on a dinner/show cruise on the General Jackson Showboat in Nashville tonite... much more photos and stories to come!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MORE PHOTOS ADDED FROM DAY 2.....
oops...we missed Dino World... oh well...
We headed toward Nashville, and when we arrived it was 82 degrees, sunny and wonderful!! Checked into a great hotel, (Hampton Inn), and went on the General Jackson Showboat dinner show cruise. This photo is one they took of us as we boarded (this is a photo of the photo and doesn't turn out as good as the original)...
These are some photos of our time on the 3 hour cruise... a fun night and delicious dinner too!! The people at our table were fun to talk to as well!
The singers at the Country Music USA show onboard the General Jackson Showboat were GREAT!! Here's the final piece they performed ...check out the video here!
