Meet me in Kentvcky?

Following our golfing excursion we headed to the Kentucky State Capital for some mean hide-n-go-seek.  This really is the perfect venue for that game.  While the gang was playing their game, I was admiring the beauty of the building.  The only thing I found odd was the spelling of Commonwealth of Kentvcky.  I asked some passerby-er's why there was a "v" instead of a "u" in the spelling of Kentucky and they said that is the Roman spelling.  Hello?  Are we in Rome???  I told the "passerby-ers" that it makes people from Kentucky look dumb!  The other thing that bugs me there is the minature sized American Flag.  The Capital is much larger than a library, post office or bank therefore it should have a larger, more substantial flag.  We ARE proud to be American's in Kentucky, right?    Here are a few pictures of our beautiful Capital Building - wrong spelling and all!

I realize this isn't a very good photo, but you can tell here how small the flag is.

Goof Balls!

Today we made our way to one of our favorite cities . . . . FRANKFORT.  We started the day at the driving range where Matt got a hole in one (a bucket) and won a free bucket of balls.  Oh ya!  Here are pics from the driving range.  As you can see, Brinley was bored so she worked mostly on gang poses.



P.S.  I forgot to mention that this driving range is sooo cool.  Where else can you go and see this:
Sign says something like . . . "Take a basket.  Pay when I return."
