Lexington, KY


Staying in Lexington KY for the next two nights. We made a trip today from Lexington to Elizabethtown, KY and back looking at some stores. We took a detour in Perryville to quickly see the CW battlefield there. This was my first time seeing this battlefield. It was kind of small, but it was unclear whether the NPS had secured all of the battlefield land or not. It was really too cold to get out and walk around much. The picture of the canon here is not mine...I only had my crappy cell phone camera...but we stood behind this canon and surveyed the field of fire that this bad boy laid down.

The cool think that happened was as we were leaving. We stopped an an old antique shop and woke up the 80 yr old KY gentleman that owned the place. We was a real hoot. Not a lot of great antiques, but this was a typical country antique experience. As I was starting to leave I noted that we was selling some locally made honey. Got a quart for $7.50. Beat that price in the city.
