After a spot of shopping (and 5 pairs of purchased shoes) Chris and I made our way down to Lake Kentucky. Lake Kentucky is a land made lake made in the 50's to try and help the central Kentucky State get power to more homes. It's also very beautiful and as its summer holidays over here there were a lot of campers out and boats on the lake. Chris and I walked around part of the lake and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Then sat with our hosts on the deck of thei...

Today we made the 5 hour trek to St. Louis. St. Louis doesn't have much to offer but we wanted to see a new place, had a couple of days to kill and thought we'd go up to see a Major League Baseball game. On the way we stopped off at Taco Bell which is pretty tasty and serves drinks is litre portions!! Needless to say Chris and I have learnt to get one to share!! The baseball started at 7pm so we took the time to wander around Ballpark Village, and see a littl...

One of our highlights so far is going through his mansion...

"We got married in a fever Hotter than a pepper sprout We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson Ever since the fire went out" We decided we needed a decent breakfast before we headed off so stopped in at the Waffle House and started the day with an American Breaky! Then we stopped in at Walmart and bought some crazily priced food and socks (yup Chris needed new socks) then we hit up Abita Brewing Company. They are just outside of Covington (New Orleans) and had a l...
