It's been a whole week since my parents arrived. We had a great time! I wish they could come to Louisville more often. Here's a quick look of what we did while they were here.
Thursday morning I had to work, so my parents relaxed and unpacked until 12. We then headed out for a tour of Louisville. We drove past the church, Kroger, Target and drove through some neighborhoods looking at houses. Louisville has some great older neighborhoods with lots of character. We then headed to U of L's campus for a tour.
No one was on campus because of Spring break. After spending some time on campus we drove through Cherokee Park and headed to Churchill Downs. I hadn't ever been to Churchill Downs. It was really fun to visit, even though the museum was closed because of the flood.
After Churchill Downs we headed home to pick up Taurean and headed out for more sightseeing and dinner. We had dinner at the Claudia Sanders Dinner House, which is apparently the original site of KFC, or something like that. The rolls were DELICIOUS.
Friday morning we woke up and headed to breakfast at the highly recommended Lynn's Paradise Cafe! It was amazing! I loved the quirkyness of the restaurant and the food was great.
This is outside Lynn's. Those are real suds inside the cup.
Me with my food. I think about the french toast all the time. It was wonderful. After breakfast we drove to Shelbyville to see where Taurean works and to visit the Zappos shoe outlet. I got a new pair of Vans for only $20! All the shoes are half off.
After Zappos we drove to Cincinnati to shop at the Gap Clearance Outlet. Later that night we saw Avatar which we all loved.
Saturday morning I headed to work while Taurean and my dad took a tour of the Zappos factory. Everyone met up with me at work and we headed to the temple and Costco. Here is a picture of the gym where I work.
Later on Saturday we took my parents to Steak and Shake for lunch and went to the movies to see Alice in Wonderland.
All in all it was a great trip! We all pigged out and spent some great time together.
This morning we woke up to something else in our tree.... A possum! He's still out there staring at me through the window. Pretty cute little thing. Strangely reminds me of Muffin.
