Wow!!!

As I had anticipated, Garth Brooks was FANTASTIC!! It was better than fantastic!!! Even my man really enjoyed it. He's not a huge country music fan or a big Garth Brooks fan. But he really likes him now! How can you not love an entertainer that clearly appreciates his fans and LOVES what he does?! I mean really, he did a 7:00 show that ended a little after 9:00. Then he did another show, that started at 11:15 and didn't end until 1:35AM!  That's a lot of energy right there. Here's the review in the local paper;

Oh yeah, and we also went to Churchill Downs, since we were in Louisville! I love an event and history, so that was pretty cool. I had no idea Churchill Downs was so big though. I guess I didn't have any expectations and I'm not horse racing fan, so it was all a surprise to me. It's a beautiful facility for sure. 

I guess Louisville is ok. It's a bigger city than my hometown, more freeways, LOTS more people, but some things about were cool. I like how they seem to be really trying to keep a lot of the old buildings. There was one whole block that looked like a movie set because just the fronts of the buildings were up. I guess they were going to build new, behind the old fronts? It was hard to tell though what their night life was like, with 22 thousand people leaving and 22 thousand people coming, all at the same time! I didn't make me want to spend the day there or anything. I would however, go back down again for another show, if there was someone I wanted to see. (Nashville is still better!!)
