On the way home through Bourbon Country

All good things must come to an end as so did this spring break.   We packed up our things and said goodbye to the Turners and headed back up North.
We were making great time and were about 3 hours from home when Jim and I decided to take a detour off the highway to visit a distillery.  We drove through beautiful horse farms and estates.  I tell you what, those Derby people sure like white fences and fancy barns. Then we arrived at the home of our favorite bourbon, Woodford Reserve.

It was a lovely, historic place to visit (complete with free samples).  We had just missed the last tour of the day but we decided to walk around the grounds and enjoy the sights.

We balanced on the barrel run from factory to aging barn.  I'm sure that there is more production elsewhere, but this was so charming.  Not a lot for kids though.

A cute pic of our girls.  They are growing up!

Annalise and Mom putting the kabosh on the bourbon fun.  We had to get to "Luhivile" to have dinner with our friend Dan. We made it back to Carmel around 10 pm. End of a memorable tour.
