Off to Kentucky

We left Ohio about 1015 saying goodbye to Carol and Joe, thanking them for such a great visit.

When we were planning our trip Josh really only asked for one area to visit, the Bourbon trails

We knew we were in Ohio and needed to get to Arkansas, so we landed getting to Kentucky. Since I have been trying also stay in different types of accomodation, I found a tree house that we could stay in for two nights.

We hit some pretty good rain on our drive, heading into our 20th state. The tree hour was a bit off the bourbon trail, so we decided to hit up Buffalo Trace on the way to the accomodation and then another one on the way out.

We got to Buffalo Trace about 4pm, heading to the gift shop as they did free tastings thier. We came at a great time as there was no one else in line, so we were able to go right into a large tasting booth. The kids were given their root beer while we had a tasting of 4 different types. Josh ended up buying the Cornel bourbon as it’s hard to find in Australia and almost 3 times the price. When we were in the gift shop section, they also had a tasting for a new product that came out today. Bourbon and lemonade, so we bought a 4 box, to sit out on the treehouse with.

Our accommodation was in the woods of the Red River Geological area in the Appalachian mountains . We had to park in the loading/ unloading spot as even though we condensed our luggage for the tree house, the stairs were not easy to get up to the house from the parking lot. Luckily we unloaded during a dry patch in the weather.

We had pasta that was boiled via the microwave as there was no stove. Josh decided tomorrow we will eat out. There was a multi microwave/air fryer/ and toaster but it was small and we couldn’t really figure it out.

Josh and I slept on the double bed on the floor, on the upstairs loft. The single bed in the kitchen is actually two single beds and we moved the below single bed over when we were ready for bed.

Under the main house is as a deck that had a few chairs and a swing chair. Brandon spent a good amount of time down there on his headphones. At one point the hook in the ceiling broke and down came the swing.

We had a family game of Phase 10 but it took so long we had to quit as we needed to go to bed.
