LOTS of pictures KENTUCKY
I'll try to add captions as much as possible :)
My cousin and Jay going to the Kentucky State Fair
"Only in Kentucky" Sign One : Pork Butt on a Stick
Niki Eating Corn
This restaurant, Lynn's Paradise Cafe, holds an "ugliest lamp contest" each year. They have two categories, born ugly and made ugly, These were the two winners...
...and my two favorites
There was also an art exhibit at the Fair (my favorite part). I started taking pictures of my favorites, but my camera died and I never got to go back :( There was a lot of AWESOME art though
++++
Sometimes...I make art with coffee and books :)

Two of my cousins had a birthday the same day. We're Lloyd's, of course we celebrated. We went to King Fish's on the River, which is actually in Indiana, but not far from where my cousins live
These riverside resturaunts have BEAUTIFUL views of the Louisville Skyline. I'm a bridge (and picture-taking) junky so I got a lot of, what I consider, pretty spiffy shots :)
The 65-Bridge
Trying to take a picture of myself, with the skyline
A semi-hazy skyline, and the 2nd Street Bridge
The 65-Bridge, the RailBridge, and part of the "Star of Louisville" (a dinner-cruise boat)
The 2nd Street Bridge
Better Skyline??
Niki and my Dad were showing each other some of the buildings
More of the 2nd Street Bridge
I took other pictures of just random "props" all around...

One day we went to a Forest. I forget what the name was. B...something. It's in one of the pics I'm sure. Anways they had this thing called the "Canopy Walk" or "Sky Walk" which was this elevated 1/2 bridge that made you eye-level with all of the trees. Pretty neat...
Trees, and my Dad, at ground level
Niki as "The Thinker"
Approaching the walk
My parents making their way up
My Aunt Frankie...
...and my Mom (shooting from further up the ramp)
Niki and My Dad, eye level!
I'm an engineer...I had to explore underneath to see how this thing worked. Thankfully my Uncle Phillip is an engineer and came with me :)
Sideways
Directly underneath the first poles, looking out
Looking up :P
Uncle Phillip by one of the support poles
Hiking back up
More Forest Stuff...
Only in Kentucky Sign Two : "Electric Car Parking"
The Welcome Center was pretty enviro-friendly.
I almost stepped on this little guy! :/

If you don't know by now, we eat a lot. One of the places we go almost every trip is Lynn's Paradise Cafe. It's right by my Uncle's photography studio, and has been featured on the Food Network a lot.
They give you toys to play with...
uh oh....
A shirt, that for some reason, reminded me of Jake
The infamous coffee pot, with evidently a very foamy cup of coffee today
My dad wanted his picture with the cow. Ok!
This horse was a toaster. I thought that was pretty neat!

What's Kentucky w/o Churchill Downs and Horse Muesems??? This was our first time visiting!
The twin spires (the logo-trademark of CH Downs)
My dad in front of the winners circle (roses) they use for the Derby winner only
500 dollar folding chairs...no joke!
The finish line
I totally won!
"Show Riding" :P
I'm also a Geek about stairs...
Ha...my Dad...
Good Trip!
