Memorial Day

I was one of the guests on Kentucky Tonight on Memorial Day so we made our way over to Lexington for an evening. We stopped by Perryville Battlefield on the way. Perryville was the site of the biggest battle of the Civil War that took place in Kentucky. After doing some shopping on Tuesday, we stopped by Four Roses Distillery on the way home. Four Roses is one of the stops on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
