Fourth of July trip to KY was Great and passed by way to quickly! I arrived Friday night around 9:30 and Jenn met me at the Famous Root beer Stand in Corbin. It was very good but the lady taking my order at the car glanced and saw my DUKE hat in the car right after I asked about a Dixie Burger. Needless to say, she knew I was out of town and I don’t think she was too fond of my hat. She wasn’t too bad to me I guess…. My food arrived and tasted pretty good! haha

Saturday was a full day as we all traveled to Cincy to watch a Reds game. We made a little stop in a town called Georgetown KY before going on to Cincinnati. Georgetown is where Jenn went to undergrad for 4 years! She was very excited to share with me where so many wonderful memories lie! It was a beautiful campus with old builidings. I'm glad I got to see where she lived and walked to class everyday!

After we left Georgetown we kept driving and we parked in Covington KY and walked over the Bridge on the Ohio River to the Great American Ball Park. It was a great game being that it was an in-state rivalry. Cincinnati Reds vs. Cleveland Indians. It was very very HOT but the seats were great. We were 19 rows up between 3rd and home. After the game we walked a mile to a Ribs restaurant on the Ohio River. It was a beautiful view and great food. I really enjoyed the whole day Saturday.

Sunday was Church Day; we went to Jenn’s Church Sunday morning and ate lunch with her grandpa and grandma afterwards. Sunday’s are nap day for me so we did get an hour nap which was great but not long enough. ;) Sunday night we went to Church with Jenn’s Grandparents. She also took me to the first KFC in Corbin, KY. There was even a couple there from NC checking it out.

July 4th was a nice and relaxing day and we had a hamburger and hotdog cookout but there weren’t any major fireworks shows around so we watched Macy’s Fireworks Spectacular event on TV. Our last day, always a sad day, we went to Berea, KY to visit one of my childhood friends. It was great to see him and we had a nice time catching up and talking sports. I’m back missing her now but the beach vacation is coming soon!

Tracy loves to talk about all the fun events, but always manages to leave out all of the FUN wedding planning: ). He forgot to mention that we accomplished a lot with wedding planning! Sunday night we stayed up until 1 AM picking out invitations….all the way down to the minor details! So thankful that is finished! We know the colors, design, and just have to take the information when the time comes to get them printed! They are going to be so beautiful! On Monday, we woke up to have a photography session with the one and only, Mrs. Debbie Felts! We weren’t ready for full blown engagement sessions this trip so we decided just to get a couple of shots we would like to use for our save the dates! Mom did a wonderful job! We had so many good pics, it was hard to choose from! We went around London to get shots, but some of the best pictures came from the great views around my house! The day Tracy left, I went to the print shop and gave our pictures and decided to change some things on the original proof we had, so I’m waiting to get the updated save the dates back to okay them for print! So get excited, because they are coming to a destination near you in a just a few short months!!! I also took all of our ideas for the invitations. Monday was a full packed day! We also went around with my parents looking at various places for the rehearsal dinner. Since this is the grooms responsibility, Tracy wanted to see the places and get ideas because his mother has some great ideas she plans on doing and he will be able to help place her ideas with the best location! It was so nice to have him to do this wedding stuff!
Now, countdown until some more exciting times………..4 days until the beach! YAY Also, I have said YES to the DRESS…but that is a blog in itself to come soon!
Take care and as always,
We love you all!
