I had a fabulous weekend with my gal pals, Stephanie and Kristen in Louisville, KY. [Yes, I’m still pretty sure that I’m saying it wrong…Oh well! I did make an effort!] Steph has a charming hardwood floor apartment in a cute older neighborhood. Her precious cat Olivia was fun to play with.
On Friday night, we went to the Southeast Christian Church of Louisville for the 1st performance of their 2006 Easter Pageant. This church runs around 18,000 every Sunday, and so you can just imagine the size of their sanctuary. BJU’s FMA doesn’t have anything on them...this place was massive for a church! And let me just say that I will NEVER again complain about the traffic congestion at my church. I thought things were crazy at my church of 2,500...I don’t think that any more. The Pageant was indescribable and so incredible. I am so glad that we got tickets!
On Saturday, we explored one of the quaint areas of Louisville--Frankfort Avenue. We visited several upscale consignment shops and had our first taste of Genny’s Frickle Pickle Chips—deep fried dill pickle slices. Yes, I did say FRIED DILL PICKLES! They were pretty tasty, I must say. The 3 of us also shared the Sweet Daddy Burger Platter—a 3-patty wonder with tasty cheese and fries on the side. We were stuffed.
We also visited both parks on either side of the Ohio River—the one on the Louisville side and the Falls of the Ohio River State Park in Indiana. It was highly enjoyable. One old structure near the railroad tressel bridge in the Indiana side was highly fascinating to me. I took lots of pictures. Big surprise to all, I’m sure! Kristen and Steph like to pose in their best Kung Fu Fighting stances when we go places, and so we had to capture that special moment, too.
Steph made her famous fried chicken, wonderful green beans and delicious hashbrown casserole for dinner that evening. The 2 Yankees found it rather awesome to watch a true Southern cook in action. She’s just amazing! That hashbrown casserole is even better than one of my favorite dishes at Cracker Barrel. YUM!! On Sunday, we just relaxed and took it easy for a couple of hours before heading back to Indianapolis. All in all, it was truly a spectacular weekend and a great get-away!

What a fun get-away trip. Since I've not seen the state park, I really enjoyed your pictures. And what a beautiful cat!
