Weekend in Louisville

The weekend of July 17 we went to Louisville for the weekend. We had never really been to Louisville except to go to the malls a couple of times so we decided this week a nice weekend get away and would be something new for us to go and do. So we found a good weekend special for the Galt House Hotel. The Galt House is located right by the river and is within walking distance to alot of different attractions and things to do.

So we arrive at the Galt House Friday night around 9:30 or so there time and checked-in. When they told us our room number and how to get to it I knew this was going to be lots of fun. Our room was river view and was located on the 23rd floor. Yes 23rd floor. Wade is not a big of heights so when we first looked out our window it took him some time to get adjusted to the view. Our view from this room was very nice

So Saturday after we had the breakfast buffet at the hotel it was time to head out for the day. We decided since the weather was super nice for the middle of July (only in the low to mid 70's) that we would go to the Zoo. We could not have a made a better decision. The zoo in Louisville was very nice and it was really big. We saw all kinds of different animals and got to get a closer view than you do at most zoo's. Also since the weather was so nice I think that really helped with the being able to see the animals moving around. We spent several hours at the zoo and it felt like we walked forever.

After the zoo we went back to hotel and walked along the river. We ate lunch at Joe's Crab Shack on the river. We both had different steam pots and shared a dessert. After lunch we rested at the hotel before we got to go the mall's and Kohl's. We can't go anywhere without some time to shop. It was a GREAT weekend.
