Erin and I aren't really adventurous travellers well I should say I am not, I tend to get sweaty at the thought of having to go across the Ohio River to the zoo. Erin tried to book a trip to Chicago a few years ago and I whined a trip to Gatlinburg instead as I was nervous about hailing a cab. I'm telling you its sad. This time however I looked forward to the trip the Louisville with the missus as we needed to get away. We love the kids but my eyes needed to spend time seeing my wife and not the dents and holes in the house so it was time to go. Erin is the driver and I am the navigator and this arrangement has worked well over the years, as I inspire fear when I drive. I mean 70 is just the suggested speed right?!??
We arrived at the town of Louisville in the early afternoon and quickly settled into our room. We had reservations at a revolving restaurant known as RIVUE which is located at the top of the Galt House. The Galt House is a shrine to Erin as she always recalls her days of FHA where they visited here on a trip. However over the years we have never stayed here, mainly due to its 300.00 a night stays....may want to check the Campbell County FHA class of 97 books...who was the president or vice president during that time...lets just grab the ole yearbook...Erin Sebastian....oh crap. Well in her defense I was voted most likely to succeed and nicest guy in 1994. Moving on...
Revolving restaurants have always interested us, I took Erin to the one near us right after I proposed and again on our 10th anniversary, we also went to a restaurant last year in Indianapolis very nice. However the review on RIVUE good food but alot of views of their dinner plates and walls, seemed like they gave up on the view 3/4 of the way in. We did spend a great deal of time learning of cheeses and examining long plates with tiny bits of food. I think they call the rest of the plate, presentation. My wife across the table however is even more beautiful when we 1st met. Going to make sure she knows that every day till the last. Which I felt was coming soon as we walked back to the hotel. We walked everywhere and my legs were feeling it. Ever since I focused on losing weight and have lifted weights and walked more than I have in at least 10 years I needed a push. We walked everywhere during our stay, I drifted out of consciousness 2 or 3 times, but at least Erin got a nice compliment from the toothless man at the gas station. We arrived at the room where I slumped onto the couch and Erin helped me to bed and as we drifted off into sleep i look forward to.................breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep what the?!!? Erin what day is it, what do you mean put on a shirt, fire go downstairs. So we ran down 6 flights of stairs and out the side door and awaited the Fire Trucks (which we took pictures of for Collin). Seems little Jimmy pulled the Fire Alarm....Erin I cant walk anymore think Ill sleep in the van.
Saturday I noted was different as Collin was not jumping on the bed, and Payten wasn't doing flips into Collin causing him to bounce off the floor. We awoke and I felt from the nights prior events surely we'll use the van...nevermind lets walk to the baseball museum. On our way we made friends! I needed a moment to rest not long after we left and we sat at the bus stop. Around the corner comes this man..The names have been changed to protect the idiots.
