I am so excited. Today, I get to pet the rabbits, George! Pet the rabbits, George! And I get to milk goats, eat Krispy Kreme hamburgers, get a Pineapple Whip, hang out with beauty queens, ride carnival rides and more
The Travel Channel will feature the town of Santa Claus, Indiana, on its hour-long “Best of the Road” special tonight. Santa Claus is known as one of the top “Most Fun Small Towns” chosen to compete in last month’s “Best of the Road Rally” sponsored by USA Today and Rand McNally. A Best of the Road Rally team visited Santa Claus for two days in late June and enthusiastically experienced the fun at Santa’s Stables, Santa Claus Museum, Santa Claus Christmas Store, Santa’s Candy Castle, Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort, and Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari.
Over the weekend, my family and I took advantage of some awesome weather to investigate a little family history in Louisville. One of our stops was Cave Hill Cemetery.
As I walked through Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center toward Marty's Madagascar Tiki Hut to broadcast for the afternoon, I saw a sign advertising the Crack-a-Lackin' Pool Party. Say it with me: CRACK - A - LACKIN'!
Jaclyn is insane. She habitually overpacks for trips and last night was no exception. While I arrived at Gaylord Opryland Resort with one duffle, Jaclyn had to hire a pack mule to transport her bags from the parking lot to her room in the Delta. So, once she got situated in her room, we raided it with a video camera to show you guys the ridiculous amount of clothing she brought for a ONE NIGHT stay. You are not going to believe what this dingbat brought with her . . . what she didn't!

President Abraham Lincoln's time in Indiana has been dramatized in many forms for twenty-five years at Lincoln Ampitheatre in Perry County. When the ampitheatre's construction was completed in 1987, the play Young Abe Lincoln was staged there for the first time. In 2009, LINCOLN: Upon the Altar of Freedom was produced in honor of Lincoln's 200th birthday. Now a new two-act musical play, which will incorporate several of the area's young actors, makes its World Premiere this weekend.
YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS! When we're down in Nashville for our annual CMA Music Festival, we always meet some characters. People LOVE their country music and they fly in from all over the world to be a part of "Fan Fair." They all have stories, their favorite stars and their favorite keepsake souvenirs. But we have NEVER seen a possession as prized as the handmade quilt owned by Mary from Ohio. The quilt and the 400 autographs on it will blow your mind!! WATCH!
I'm a road tripper from way back. My family went on vacations and short little side trips all the time when I was growing up. That sort of thing just gets in your blood.
Yes, I had a good time with WBKR friend and Waking Crew member Bruce Pierce yesterday morning. Bruce, our morning computer geek, also knows a thing or two about guns. And, I am in the market for a new firearm, so Bruce invited me to join him at Whittaker's in West Louisville. As Bruce says, " I gotta tell you, they got a lot of guns".
