Last week we had to empty all the rooms on the first floor of our home so they could refinish the floors. We moved to the basement, but then decided we would rather get out of town while this process went on.
We ruined these floors by not having felt pads on our chairs. Tucker and Charlie used to have a little table and chairs set right over this spot (the old island wasn't as long). They wore the finish off the floor.
And of course the dishwasher disaster is the real reason we had to refinish the floors immediately.
Before color-
It looked so amazing as they stripped the finish off. It really looked like brand new wood!
We left on a Tuesday after co-op classes. I took a picture of Anastasia sleeping because she almost NEVER does in a car. I think she slept a total of one hour the six days we were driving around Kentucky.
As always, I drove so Daddy could work. He worked in our hotel late into the night every night. Don't let the traveling make you think he's not working. He works hard every day!
We stayed in hotels for five nights and every single night we swam. It feels like such a vacation when you swim at night. The other hotels had indoor pools, which feel even more special for some reason.
Having a meeting of the "best friends club". :)
We found a Peppa Pig game for Anastasia to try. She LOVED it. :)
On Wednesday we drove to the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY. It was such a great stop! I had never even heard of it before, but was looking for things to do in Lexington and it came up. It is HUGE and has an amazing LARGE museum with the history of horses and barn after barn of famous horses to see.
The grounds are beautiful.
Julia, Tucker, and Charlie even went for an hour-long trail ride! Such a fun surprise!
I am reading Don Quixote right now and found this interesting-
They had some of these stack-stoned walls that do not use mortar.
We drove around Lexington and saw the University of Kentucky and their football stadium and Rudd basketball arena.
We finally made it to the next hotel, and Annie rode in on the luggage cart. :) There were several chuckles from the folks in the lobby as we rolled through. :)
