First Full Week Down

Well, I made it through the first full work week. Not that it was a big deal, but the job is a bit of a struggle. Not sure if I made the goal of 65% of full rate, but don't really care. Next week, I need to be at 85%--or not.
We went to a flea market up near Louisville on Saturday. Later we went to the park's pot luck get-together for a little bit. On Sunday we fired up the grill and had burgers and brats. And even enjoyed them outside. Next weekend we may go to visit a cave. Not sure yet. Take Care.

Green River State Park

Well, since the state park is only a mile from the marina, we stopped here too. Brandy was so happy-until we told her she couldn't chase the boats! We saw one of the big house boats on the river too.

Green River Marina

We went to the Green River Marina today to get some pictures. Note that the house boats all have slides on the backs from the second level. Looks like fun. Most are three levels, but there are a few bigger ones here. Fall colors are looking good too.

Churchill Downs!

Yesterday, we went to Louisville and visited the Churchill Downs Kentucky Derby Museum and got a tour of Chruchill Downs too. We got to stand in the winners circle where each of the winners from all the races-except the Kentucky Derby winner-goes when the race is official. This area is adjacent to the Finish Line. The Kentucky Derby winners circle is by the building here that says Derby 2010 to receive the roses. Both of these are directly in front of the twin spires here at Churchill Downs. We walked through the tunnel that the horses take to get to the track. It was a beautiful day-about 90. They start their fall meet on October 31 and we will probably go back on a day that they are racing there. It is about 85 miles away.

I will start 10 hour days this week. The park is filling up and will be full by November 1st. The next group starts next Sunday. Other than that, we just been touring the Walmart and Family Video-two of the best attractions in the area! Here are some of the pictures we took while at Churchill Downs. We haven't taken any pictures yet to show you the Walmart or Family Video, so you will just have to imagine it for yourselves. Take care.
