Given your interests, the
Kentucky Bourbon Trail is worth investigating. Even if you horse racing is not your thing,
Churchill Downs has a great, modern museum and is worth visiting. The
Falls of the Ohio across the river in Indiana are fascinating in terms of natural history and their role in the making of the city.
I don't want to make your wife think you're trying to get rid of her, but sometimes we walk across the
Big Four Bridge to Indiana just to get a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning, it's not a big deal. (As it used to be a railroad bridge, it's pretty sturdy.) For others who have not been, the
Slugger Museum is interesting even if you think baseball could bore the bark off a tree. I have not been recently, but
The Kentucky Show is a fascinating introduction to the Bluegrass state. A ride on the
Belle of Louisville is big fun...for about 20 minutes, then it gets pretty tedious.
My restaurant recommendations would match those on
Trip Advisor , but I would draw your attention to "Mussel & Burger" if you like either. Best fish sandwich in The 'Ville is "The Fishery."
Welcome!
