Our actual last day in Kentucky was today. We had a bunch of time before we had to go to the airport, and after we had to check out of the hotel, so we went and found some things to do. We went to the Lexington Visitor’s center and Travis saw Blue Lex.
And I smelled a bunch of bourbon. It was nice. I also had a fantastic conversation with the lady in the shop and she gave me a bunch of ideas of things to do in Lexington. Next year. We already had plans to visit the Mary Todd Lincoln house, and we headed there for 2:00. I love old fancy houses. They are like full sized doll houses! The house had a bunch of cards so you could learn things on a self guided tour. I always enjoy staged rooms that have fake food. I have no idea why. The cards made it simple to take note of important details of each room. One thing that we don’t often think about when we look at old mansions is slavery. It is usually not showcased, though it was displayed prominently all over the Mary Todd Lincoln house. I just kind of want this bookshelf.
This was part of a pair of framed prints depicting President Lincoln’s assacination. After Lincoln was shot in Ford’s theater he was brought across the street to Petersen house, where he eventually died. I have been to both Ford’s theater and the Petersen house. I really liked this fan.
We are finally just about on the way home. We’re on the last plane and it’s only a little delayed. Soon I can sleep
