Playing Tourist in Kentucky



 

It doesn't look a thing like the real Stonehenge

Today Meric and I decided to play tourist and visit some near by attractions. Our first stop was Kentucky Stonehenge. It is located on private property (right next to the person's house) but they allow people to walk around it. In reading about this stonehenge I couldn't find any explanation as to why it was built. After seeing it in person, I think it was built because the owner has the space and enjoys building things with stone. The house was surrounded with interesting stone features and a very cool looking outdoor stone fireplace.

Our next stop was the very exciting Dinosaur World. Okay so I admit this one was cheesy for two adults to do, but I felt like a little bit of cheese. It was a dinosaur museum and a walking trail that had life size dinosaur replicas along the way. It was actually not too bad and we had fun walking around taking pictures with the dinosaurs.

The last stop of the day was the National Corvette Museum. There were so many beautiful cars! They had a 1953 model (the very first) and several other classic, new and rare corvettes. The museum was huge and we both learned a lot about this classic car.

Meric really wants one now!

Tonight we enjoyed skydivers and a fireworks show put on by the campground. It was really cool and very convenient to just sit outside and watch the show so close to our house (trailer).

On a side note, I knew that we live close to the time zone line where it changes from EST to CST but today I learned exactly how close. From where we live right now, if we drive ten minutes south of us we are in CST. TEN MINUTES down the road an we would only have a two hour time difference from everyone back in Washington instead of the three hours we have now. I have never lived this close to a time zone line and find it kinda weird.
