September 8- Ugh

08Sep10

So, anytime I go more than 2 or 3 days without posting, you can pretty much guarantee that I’ve got a big bomber of a photo that I am too ashamed to post, yet didn’t take any photos or produce anything better on that particular day, so I have no choice to either post the [...]

September 5- Mammoth Caves

05Sep10

This Labor Day weekend, our family didn’t make any special out-of-town plans, so on a whim, we decided to drive down to Mammoth Caves in South-Central Kentucky on Sunday.

Florence Y’all

24Aug09

Theme: Quaint or Quirky Too big to be quaint, but definitely quirky, this distictive water tower greets traffic on Interstate 75 in, you guessed it, Florence, Kentucky.

The middle of somewhere… once.

Hebron, Kentucky at the airport viewing area for the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG). The sign reads: CENTER OF POPULATION OF U.S. IN 1880 The exact center of population of the United States in 1880 was located within a few hundred yards of this plaque. North latitude 39* 4′ 8″ West longitude 84* 39′ 40″ Population [...]
