It is a super hot packout at the campground so we have motivation to hurry! We head for downtown Louisville to the Louisville Slugger Factory. Once inside we are able to "hold a piece of history" and once the kids put on batting gloves they get to hold a bat of their choice... they all choose to hold David Ortiz's 2004 bat. It's pretty heavy for Charlie but he is not to be denied!
We like heading through the factory and Charlie is on cloud 9 when they give him a little baseball bat at the very end! We then head to the kids batting t and Charlie gets to practice. We all head to the cages. I takes some fast pitch softball swings with a nice aluminum bat, the girls have some success at slow pitch and finally Greg uses Dustin Pedrioa's (spelling?) bat to take some baseball pitches. A very cool stop for everyone!
We drive by Churchill Downs and see the outside including the Barbaro statue, but its too hot and Mom is desperate to start heading NORTH!
We camp in Central Ohio at a very nice RV park called Cross Creek Camping Resort. It was very nice, we had a great dinner of fish tacos and a fire to use up the last of our wood from Yellowstone (we'd drug it far enough!) The pool was very refreshing and Charlie loved riding his bike everywhere on the paved roads inside the park. I felt like our site was so nice we could have been in a "Go Rving" commercial, especially when the kids were sitting by the fire eating marshmallows. (it turns out Charlie is quite a marshmallow junkie!) It is a gorgeous, cool night and the stars are amazing.
