A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Yesterday, we did the "get to know the area" day and also some fun things to do and see.....We started our day by sitting on Donna & Mike's back porch drinking our morning coffee and enjoying the cooler morning.....Then breakfast and off we went....


Taylorsville State Lake
They have boating launch area, fishing and a nice campground.

Ernie scoping out the walkways and the sites at the visitor info center...

Then on our way to a winery we went past this old "Civil War" era plantation house that is falling down....I just love old houses and this interested me....also made me sad that it's dying a slow death....Boy, if those old walls could talk....

At the winery we walked out to check out the grape vines.....

Donna & I thought this was a good place for a time out for Ernie & Mike....They were getting a little out of hand....

We stopped at the Talbott Tavern for some refreshments...that's Ernie & Mike at the table....this is said to be the oldest Stagecoach Tavern & Inn still in business in the US....

Then on to the Bourbon Tasting at the Heaven Hill Distilleries.....This is our bourbon keg we got....

We just got back from Ft. Knox and we did take lots of photos of the Patton Museum....I'll post them later......We left early this morning so we're all just chilling and re-grouping....enjoy the photos...

Thanks for sharing the photos Lori. Bardstown is a neat little town - - is it time for the Bourbon Festival? We went to that one year. We wanted to go to Maker's Mark, but didn't make it. We did take the dinner train in Bardstown (wasn't a very pretty trip). We stayed at the Old Kentucky Home campground - - tiny sites, pouring down rain, very dark, and trying to pull in with a 33' MH - - just part of the RVing experience.

Will be anxious to hear if there is anything else interesting to see or do in that area since it's fairly close to where we live (just across the KY/TN line).

Enjoy your visit.

Neat things! I wonder why the guys didn't put their heads through on their "time-out" lol - and I really love your personalized keg.

Me too about the houses and walls talking. It's so sad to see some of the really historic places just left to fall apart.

Nice tour,.... thanks for the pictures, I feel like I was there with you!

The Bourbon Fest is, I believe, Sept. 17-22, but don't have the book handy to be sure of the dates.....I'm sure we'll be going....

Darn thingies wouldn't open to put their heads in during time out....

Donna joined us today here.....she and Mike are part-time Rvers and we met them last year at Ft. Stewart, GA.....I'm sure she'll introduce herself real soon....look for posts from Nickismom....
