Surprises are always nice. Cheryl wanted to see the Lexington Kentucky area with its array of horse barns and pastures. So, it was off to Lexington with a stay at the Kentucky Horse Park RV Park. It turned out to be the best park in which we have stayed. The facilities were outstanding. The park is a little boisterous as LSU fans are here in their motor homes partying and strutting the stuff of fans of the number one team in the nation. The tail gating and music is a little strong for us unconnected folks.I went to the horse park because of Cheryl's interest, but I was overwhelmed with the organization. The facilities covered hundreds of acres all neatly cared for. The displays are well done and informative. The development of the horse, its relationship with man, contrasting the characteristics of various breeds were all covered with displays, demonstrations and an opportunity for hands on work. I went because Cheryl expressed interest, but I am ready to return to spend more time there because of the quality it demonstrates.
We left the campground to go to Nashville before the victory parties started . It is Cheryl's turn to humor me. We went to the Grand Ole Opry!! We saw Bill Anderson, George Hamilton IV, Jean Shepard, Patti Loveless among others. We got to the show! We were there!! Through it all Cheryl did an outstanding job of curbing her enthusiasm.
FOOTNOTE FROM THIS MORNING:
Check on the Internet this morning - Kentucky beat LSU in three overtimes. It is truly good that we left the campground before the fans returned. I met a LSU fan this evening as we checked into the Graceland RV Park (Yes, Cheryl gets to visit Elvis' Graceland tomorrow morning.) and his reply to my innocent question of "What happened in Lexington?" was simply,"We're not going to talk about it."
and we didn't.
Probably safer that way.
