Book and Bag: Discovering Louisville #holidaytravels #holidayanthology #99centread

Every Spring and Fall, Handsome's company has a conference. This Fall's was held in Louisville. I'd always wanted to go to Louisville for horse races. What we discovered was so much more.

On our first day, we had a tour of an area of Victorian homes.

The docent has written books about Louisville and he told ghost stories and other historical figures. He passed out candy, a local confection called Modjeskas, made of caramel surrounding a marshmallow. It's delicious.

After lunch, we toured a 1792 Georgian mansion built by William and Lucy Clark Croghan.  William and Lucy Clark Croghan, along with Lucy’s brother, General George Rogers Clark, hosted many American luminaries, including Presidents James Monroe and Andrew Jackson, John James Audubon, Cassius Marcellus.

That evening, we were bused to Churchill Downs where we toured the museum and ate dinner. Truly, a fun event. 

I love baseball and there was no way I would miss the Louisville Slugger Museum. Here I am holding a game bat used by Texas Ranger catcher, Pudge Rodriguez. #2son said I looked pretty awesome. LOL.

And dessert: a chocolate pecan pie!
