March - April 2018
We stayed our last night in Corydon, Indiana so we'd be closer to Louisville for our flight home. It was a random choice based on where Hilton properties were located, but it turned out to be a good one since we got to do a little sightseeing in the morning. We checked out the downtown area of Corydon, which was the first state capital of Kentucky. We saw the original statehouse, visited the Constitution Elm and stopped by the infamously named Butt Drugs. Once we got back to Louisville, we toured the massive Cave Hill Cemetery with its many famous occupants including Colonel Harlan Sanders. Lastly, we took a final walk around Louisville and had lunch at Fourth Street Live! before hopping on our flight home.
We woke up in Corydon, Indiana for our last day of the trip. Our flight home isn't until the evening.
When in Corydon, you have to visit Butt Drugs. They were closed since it was a Sunday.

And we're back in Kentucky. Apparently Bevin is still governor.

Louisville Slugger Field, was there ever a more appropriate sponsorship of a ballpark?
At Cave Hill Cemetery, checking out some unique headstones
Cave Hill Cemetery is huge and has every kind of headstone imaginable
Bronze bullbog on a grave? Sure, why not?
You don't see a lot of stained glass used on tombstones
A rock with geese flying over it has to be the most unique headstone I've seen
We actually didn't realize Colonel Sanders was buried here. Good thing we decided to explore!
Colonel Sanders' grave is as magnificent as you'd expect it to be

The dog statue caught a frisbee. That's impressive!
Having a bunch of bronze kids playing on your grave is a little random, but it does show some happiness
OK, this headstone is just creepy.

Someone with money is definitely buried here

Cave Hill is also home to a National Cemetery
Even the Canada geese are respectful at Cave Hill National Cemetery

Not my choice for a headstone, but you do you, I guess.
The perfect alignment of the headstones in Cave Hill National Cemetery is so cool
Tomb of the unknown Union soldiers
This mausoleum is built right into the hill
When you want a giant ball at your gravesite, you get this
Back at Fourth Street Live! for lunch. It's much less crowded on a Sunday!
