Anyway, Andy couldn't come because of work and class so it was a "girls" weekend!!! We had tons of fun together!! Although, it was a little bitter sweet for me because unfortunately the trip was over the same weekend as our 5th year anniversary and Father's Day so I was gone for both special events. But Andy was VERY understanding and encouraged me to go and see my family!! Isn't he the Best? (Oh, and don't worry we celebrated later!!)
Okay, back to the trip, the first day we were there we went to a really fun children's science museum, walked around down town, and took pictures in front of the giant bat at the Slugger's Museum!!

(All around down town they have all kinds of painted horse statues like this one!)
The next day we spent the day at Church Hill Downs, the Kentucky Derby Museum! Megan and I had been there before but my Mom and Amy had not so we went again and it was just as fun the second time around!! They had some new things that I hadn't seen before and we even got to see the Kentucky Derby Jockey winner in a race!! Later that afternoon we left the kids (4 total, ages 1 to 4) with my awesome brother-in-law, Justin, and us girls went out to eat!! We talked and talked and had lots of fun together!! That night we took the kids to play in some fountains and finally got some relief from the HOT HOT weather!! Of course we made a late night ice cream trip to Graeter's where we introduced Amy to the best ice cream in the word!!!

Sunday, was Father's Day!! We went to church, came back to the hotel and cooked a YUMMY Artichoke Chicken dinner for Justin, who was the only Father there!!! Then it was time for me to drive back to Knoxville!! It was a wonderful weekend, thanks Mom!!
