Friday 5/14//21- A leisurely start to the day included sitting in the sun on the recliner and talking to the dog walkers that went by. Resting up for the next leg of the bourbon trail, Makers Mark. Driving towards the distillery, we got to view more of the rolling hills of Kentucky. We arrived early for the 12:45 tour and had to “set a spell” on the rocking chairs on the porch to view the massive layout of Makers Mark. Da Boys went off on the tour and I scoped out the landscape, the gardens, the herb garden by the restaurant, Iris in bloom and a very unusual flowering tree called American Fringe Tree.

I met the guys in the gift shop where you can dip your own bottle in the signature red wax. #JustDipped
They had a smoker food truck there where we had BBQ and enjoyed the outdoor seating area, doing some people watching. The tour for Angel’s Envy got mixed up and canceled so we went back to the RV to give Harley a break and the took off to Louisville for dinner and see what we could see. In the elevator of the parking garage, I asked the woman riding with us if she could recommend a spot for dinner so she lead us to Fourth Street Live. It was 8 blocks and we came across a several block section of Fourth Street with a live band in the middle and picnic tables where you can enjoy a beverage and music. We settled in the restaurant G.B. and had burgers and salad for dinner while listening to the music in the background. Another lovely weather day, ideal for taking in Louisville.
Sounds like a beautiful day
