We knew we had really reached Louisville the moment we stepped out of the car at our hotel, the scent of fried chicken was like a warm friendly welcome, kind of like when you get off the plane in Hawaii where you get lei, but in Louisville it was the smell of fried chicken. So whats the first thing we do, eat fried chicken. We went to Cottage Inn, which literally was a cottage, and had some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. It was everything we had hoped for, and then one more piece of chicken, that just knocked us out.
With full bellies and fried chicken on our minds we headed for Churchhill Downs. Now most people right after eating their heart out of fried chicken would take the next hour slow, maybe take a nap. Us, being at Churchhill downs decided we had to race. Now the race simple started as a slow jog through the parking lot, but we were at Churchhill downs, so we ended up giving it everything we had and broke out into one of the most amazing races that place has ever seen. Well until cooper lost his pants and Kasey almost twisted his ankle, but it was still pretty incredible.
At Churchill, we all placed bets on horses. I lost. No more betting for me.
We couldn’t stay with the horses long because next up was the famous Louisville slugger factory. Right off they gotta have the biggest bat in the world there, it was Huge!!!! This place had to be one of the best deals we will see on this trip. For only 12 bucks we gotta to tour the factory, hold Mickey mantle’s actually baseball bat, go to the only batting cage in America that allows wooden bats and swing with exact replicas of Babe Ruth and ken Griffey Jr’s bats. We also got little mini slugger’s which was probably the worst thing that could have happened, three guys on a spring break road trip with bats = not good. Straight from the factory we made our way over to the great Ali’s center, and then walked around and saw the rest of Louisville.
4Th street is where the shit was at for going out in downtown Louisville. Just to get onto the street we had to pull out our IDs, and then once on the street no open container laws; awesome! Because I am already sick of typing I am going to give a quick recap, we all got mad at each other. Cooper went off and got rejected by 3 different girls, I went off and almost got my shit rocked by a big fat guy, Kasey did nothing, and it was all great. O yah we bowled in the middle of a huge bar, more greatness
8:00am, yah eight in the dam morning Kasey woke us all up, threw us into the car, and away we went to Memphis Tennessee (he wanted to make sure we got watch America lose to Canada in OT because of Sidney Crosby). I of course took the back seat and fell asleep for almost the entirety of the drive, which was the best choice ever.
