Day 52: Photo Safari in Bardstown

Today we loaded into the Mini and set out to capture the essence of Kentucky in the back-country around Bardstown... If you have been following the weather, we were dealing with severe weather alerts all day (tornado warnings are still interrupting our TV shows tonight)... I have to tell you that I am not real excited about the tornado thing... Deb thinks it is exciting.

The weather did provide some pretty amazing backdrop for photos though... Deb took many of these today because it was just too painful for me to get in and out because of my foot... These eight photos are a sample of what she took today:

Later we visited "The Old Kentucky Home"...

Then we went to The Proto Cathedral in Bardstown, which is almost 200 years old...

This is the interior...

Then we took a couple of pictures in downtown Bardstown for Joy...

Main Street looking towards the round-about...

and the Town Clock...

Then we went to see where Joy lived while she served here...

Here is the town water tower...

and some gnarly sky in the west (we found out that Louisville was getting hammered with a major storm cell 36 miles away when I took this photo)...

and finally, this is the chapel serving this area.

Tomorrow, we are going to tour the Louisville Slugger factory and then start our ourney back to Provo... it will take at least 4 days (we need to be there by the 24th so we can celebrate Mae's first birthday on the 25th).

Goodnight.
