The past couple of days we made a spur of the moment trip with the Parker's to Louisville! We were eating at Dairy Queen after church with them on Sunday morning and they were telling us about having to go to Louisville for Peyton (their daughters) orientation at U of L. They asked if we wanted to join, so we went home, packed up our bags, and headed to Louisville with Jeff, Lisa, Peyton, Dax, and Dax's girlfriend Rachel!! After Grant doing nothing but studying for the last few weeks, we were in need of a little getaway!
We got there a little late on Sunday night and got settled into our hotel room. We sent Peyton to bed, and then headed down to the lobby to play cards. Grant, Dax, Rachel, and I stayed out until 3 am playing Nerts! We had a blast! Peyton had to be there early on Monday morning, so we slept in while Jeff and Lisa took her to campus and then hit up the free breakfast at the hotel! Delish! After breakfast we got ready to go explore Louisville. We went down to campus to check on Peyton during her lunch and explored the campus a bit. Although I have lived in Kentucky almost my whole life, I've never really spent much time at U of L. In my house and in our family, its alllll Kentucky Blue!! We noticed that the group leaders kept telling the freshman to not step on the Cardinals painted on the sidewalks. I guess its a respect thing?? Well, being the UK fans that we are, we might have accidentally jumped on the Cardinal a few times :) Whoopsie!
We left campus and headed to a neat little trendy area of town on Bardstown road. There were all sorts of neat little shops and restaurants. We ate at a Chinese restaurant for a late lunch and then stopped at the coolest ice cream restaurant afterwards. They had it decorated so cute and the ice cream was delicious! They had all sorts of weird flavors to try including one ice cream with grits!
This was the door to the girls restroom. Rachel and I thought it was funny :)
And Dax decided to be a little mischievous! haha
The décor was so cute!
After our ice cream stop, we made a quick pit stop at Home Goods before heading back to the hotel to rest. We were all still pretty tired from staying out so late. After a quick nap, we headed back down to the hotel lobby to play some more cards. We ordered pizza and just had fun joking around and hanging out. Fun day!
Tuesday morning we all slept in so late we missed breakfast (whoops) then got ready and headed to the mall for a couple hours before we had to go pick up Peyton and head home!
We had such a fun couple of days away from home! We laughed a lot, slept a little, and made some fun memories with the Parker's! There is never a dull moment when we are with them!
Go Cards Cats!!
