Eric pretty well hit on some of the finer points of Louisville

The Louisville Glass Works is pretty neat, or at least my girlfriend really thought so We made our own Christmas ornaments that turned out really cool, except I messed mine up a little by blowing too hard - it's more egg shaped than round It was a very interesting experience.

Anyone I've talked to that took a ride on the Belle of Louisville or the Star really really liked it! Also, Captain's Quarters is the best "on the river" dinning and offers a great place to watch the sunset. They offer a dinner cruise as well on the Captain's Queen (CQ). I highly recommend a romantic dinner and sunset there.

A great place for breakfast is Lynn's Paradise Cafe on Barret Avenue. The breakfast food is AWESOME! It's one of the most visited breakfast places in town, a tourist hotspot, therefore it's a little more expensive than you would expect for breakfast, but definitely some good eatin' !

Muth's Candy Store on Market St is probably one of the best candy stores in town - it has a long standing history in Louisville and is famous for it's Modjeskas and their Bourbon Balls are absolutely awesome!

The Louisville Zoo is always a fun date. An elephant was born a couple months ago, named "Scotty" and it's always fun to watch him romp around with his momma and splash around in the water. A baby Pygmy Hippo was born and a couple of other babies were born recently. A day at the zoo is always enjoyable.

As for the bar scene, there's plenty to choose from! One of my favorite treats is to stop in the Maker's Mark bar at 4th Street Live and have a drink called an "Old Fashioned." It's an awesome drink that originated in Louisville. I like kicking back with one of those and a big ol' Maker's Mark cigar in the Maker's Mark bar.
