Enjoying this Fall Season

The weather here in Kentucky is just so "Fallish" if that's a word.  The air is so crisp and often cold which is quite a contrast to the warm California weather that we are used to.  I just love walking outside of our apartment and walking through all of the leaves that have fallen from the huge trees on campus.  It truly is a beautiful time of year to be living in Kentucky.

Yesterday, Matt and I had to make a trip down to our credit union in Radcliff, KY (which is about 40 minutes south of Louisville).  The drive there is so beautiful, and we decided that on the way back we would visit historic old town Bardstown.  This quaint little town is known for quite a few things.  One being that it is the bourbon capital of the world (which is not why we went to visit :) ).  Bardstown has also won the title of one of the top 100 best small towns in America.  Anyone interested in hearing more about the history of Bardstown, KY can view the video be clicking the link below from vistibardstown.com's website.

While in Bardstown, Matt and I ate breakfast at Mammy's Kitchen.  When we walked into the restaurant it felt like we were walking into a Southern Grandma's house.  We decided to split an order of eggs benedict and try their biscuits and gravy.  The food was amazing, but I have to say that no one's eggs benedict can beat my dad's; his is just simply the best.  After enjoying our meal at Mammy's Kitchen we went window shopping down old historic 3rd street.  There were many interesting shops to look at and most of the shops already had their windows decorated for Christmas.  To end our time in Bardstown we decided to go to an old fashioned soda fountain at Hurst's Discount Drugs.  This was both of our first times going to an old fashioned soda fountain.  We decided to sit at the counter that looked out over the street.  Matt ordered a banana split and I had a root beer float.  Matt said that it was the best banana split that he ever had.  My root beer float was very good too, and they kept refilling the root beer for me.  I wish I had brought my camera so that you could see some of the sights that we saw, but you'll just have to click on all of the words that I've linked in this post, and see the pictures from their websites.  We had such a good and relaxing day as we explored downtown Bardstown.

We are so thankful that God provided us with this time together to rest, relax and just enjoy being with each other.  God is truly blessing us here in Kentucky.  We miss you all back home and we can definitely feel all of your prayers.  Please keep Matt in your prayers as his finals are in two weeks.  He did finish his final paper for his Biblical Hermeneutics class and now he is waiting to hear the results.  Until next time, we pray that you are all enjoying this wonderful season of Fall.
