Louisville, KY

This past Thursday Eric and I headed south for a 4day, kid free vacation. Thanks to my parents and Eric's mom for watching the girls so we could have some time away.

Our 1st stop was lunch in Indianapolis, IN at the always wonderful Cheesecake Factory. After stuffing ourselves with a great lunch, and of course some AMAZING cheesecake, we hit the road for our second destination....MATS 2010.


We arrived in Louisville, KY early afternoon after traveling most of the day in rain. The rain cleared just as we arrived at the Mid American Truck Show (MATS) We checked out some very cool custom semi trucks and trailers, then headed inside the convention center to walk around and check out some merchandise, displays and of course people watch.


After a few hours in Louisville, it was back in the car for a few hours south to arrive in Nashville, TN. We arrived early evening and headed downtown in search of a hotel. A lot of the bigger hotels were already booked, but we ended up getting an awesome rate at the Best Western, along with a few other 'hook-ups' for some local bars and restaurants.

Once were were checked in and settled, we waisted no time in finding a local hangout, Picks Nashville in Music City where they have live music every night and great locals that hangout there. Day one of a great vacation.
