Weekend Trip for Kenny Chesney..Oh and baseball bats..

Louisville, KY; Evansville, IN; & Kenny Chesney!!
August 6-8, 2011

This originally started out as a trip to see Kenny Chesney in Evansville, IN because he added a last minute show and then it proceeded to include a stop in Louisville, KY because we were already driving through.

In Louisville the main thing John wanted to do was check out the Louisville Slugger Museum because he is a huge baseball fan. The museum for me was just so-so. I do not really care for baseball so it was kinda boring. John was in heaven and loved every minute. I thought the museum was too small and the tour was too short for the price of the museum. It was definitely a cool experience and I think if we had children it would have been more enjoyable.



















After the museum we went to find our hotel, which was about 10 minutes or so from downtown Louisville. We stayed at the Hyatt Place Louisville East. The hotel was so nice and modern. It is a smaller hotel but for one night we were fine with that. We got to enjoy the outdoor pool they offered for a little bit and then just relaxed.  This is definitely a hotel brand to check out!

The next day we had a leisurely start and headed to Evansville, IN. It took about two hours or so for us to get there from Louisville. Once in Evansville we called to see if we could check into our hotel early. They said yes so we grab some lunch before and then went to see what was around our hotel. With the location for the concert just down the street and it being a Sunday night we decided to just relax around the hotel instead of going into downtown Evansville. 

This was the evening I was most looking forward to so John told me we could do whatever I wanted for dinner and get to the show as early as I wanted. I found out through Kenny Chesney website that they were having some preshow event at the Hooters so went for dinner and to check out the event. Not much was going on beside playing his music and the chance to win free stuff but it was still fun. After dinner we headed to the show!! I'll only post a few photos but John got me really great seats so that seriously made my night!!










Uncle Kracker opened for Kenny




On the way back to Dayton we made a stop in Santa Claus, IN since it intrigued me on the way to Evansville. It was a cute little town that obviously had everything to with Christmas. We stopped by a few of the shops but I think it would be cute to go back with kids since the town was geared toward them.

Florida Keys Review

  Florida Keys April 3rd-8th, 2021 Our Florida Keys trip was for Spring Break 2021. This was the first visit for my family, buy my in-laws who travelled with us have been a few times. We flew direct from Cleveland to Miami and then Miami - Charlotte - Cleveland return flight. Once in Miami we rented a car and drove down to the keys.  Day 1: We arrived in Miami around 10am or so. Got our rental car and headed down to the keys! Here are some pictures from our drive down to Key Largo. We stopped in Key Largo at Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill . It's definitely a bar type restaurant, but for a quick lunch it did the trick plus the patio is nice and overlooks the ocean. Great views especially after being on an airplane all morning. It was a nice introduction to the keys. After that we headed the rest of the hour or so down to Duck Key were our condo was. The drive was fairly easy without a lot of traffic.  Our condo in Duck Key was really nice. It was three units. Two on top and one...

31 Days 2013: Weight Loss!!!

Today has been an awesome day from start to finish!! Things just seem to falling in place and that makes me very happy as well as way less stressed. The best news of the day is that I lost more weight!!!! For those that were not aware I have been actively trying to lost weight since after I had Lexi. Well I lost the 25lbs of baby weight I gained in April, but wanted to lose more. So from that point on I started really focusing on losing weight. It already helped that I stopped having Starbucks multiple times a month and sometimes a week as well as pretty much stopped eating out. At home I focused more on healthier menu options as well as potion control. I also started tracking my food with MyFitnessPal . I truly believe those three things helped me continue losing weight because all I did for working out was walk. I would say around August/September was when I started adding more exercising into the mix. I focused on things I could do at home with the baby so it wouldn't ta...
