Thanks, for your comments on last weeks post. We all need to change it up a bit, keeps life interesting. I wanna say that finding a new FREE photo program on the net is tough, I had used PicMonkey for gosh, years??! ...not sure what I even used before Pic??! no clue ...but they have gone to only pay ...which I never found what paying for the service ...you get some extra fonts ...but big whoppee!! I just wanna downsize my shots, 'cause I use a higher picture setting on my camera and that get fussy with blogger ...so I am trying out iPiccy ...not moaning but it is a real change ...I can't keep up with what font I used & all that jazz. I must admit ...I usually will work up like 3 or 4 posts and have them ready in case I don't have the time to sit down each week 2 work up a post. Now to what we are here for ... talking about travel. This week sharing Mill Creek Recreation Area, Ohio, we were there Wed. Sept. 6th, 2017. They were closing up for the season,

"Barton 1972 Distillery" 300 Baron Road, Bardstown, KY. 40004 1-866-239-4690 You might be curious as to why we did go to so many distilleries, well I truly think you need to check this one because, WELL BECAUSE IT WAS FREE??! Yep, not sure how they do it, not sure? But when we did visit there was no charge for an amazing visit. The tour was one of the best, most detailed and the treats you get too sample are just amazing. We had to buy some of those chocolates they do sell. My hubby was like you do realize that each chocolate is worth $1.00 each? I know it, Let me tell ya, they are the best chocolates you will ever have and they taste like bourbon. So so so so so so so so so SO SO SO good!!! You maybe be asking, Beth what did you get from this distillery, well we did purchase those I got have another box of those chocolates but not sure when we will be getting to Kentucky again any time soon & a bottle of their chocolate liquor.

"Bernheim Arboretum" and Research Forest  2075 Clermont Road Clermont, KY 40110 A great place to take your dog for a walk. Go on a date, take a picnic, whatever it maybe but just take time to get away and just relax. So many hiking trails, great walking locations. So many blooms plants and trees. So calming. Quiet. We were there when it was a free time. I am not sure if it is always free, but do check into that. We had a fun time just looking around. Lots of must see art as well. The bottom shots reminds me of a game I did play as kid where you had a ball or twine that you had to keep from falling with some sticks, I don't recall the name of the game but wanted to share this amazing design with you ...here is what the sign below it did say about the artist: "Photosynthesis" - by: Myung Gyun You, 2014, Born in South Korea, lives in Philadelphia, PA, 2014 Bernheim Artist in Residence, Materials: Lath, wire, lumber, and wood stain.

"Jim Beam" , 526 Happy Hollow Rd, Clermont, KY 40110 hours:  9AM–5:30PM phone: (502) 215-2295 Hey there!! Welcome! Glad you stopped in today, are you a drinker? Maybe 1 who does partakes for a drink every now and then? Only in cooking? 1 who has never drank the stuff? What are you thoughts? Do you have a favorite spirit? I am usually a fan of vodka. NOT that I drink it constantly or even on an every day basics. Just a fan of once in a blue moon. The hubby & I are not big drinkers but when in Kentucky you are meant to check out these distilleries. I mean it is tradition after all & you don't even have to walk in to smell the bourbon. You can smell it in the air. I wonder if they make it a cologne? It is a lovely scent. Kentucky lives, breathes and bleeds bourbon. Whatever makes ya money. We did come home with a bottle of Red Stag (my fave) and Fire (the hubby's fave). There are so many options to pick from and I am sure it will
