We started the weekend off at- you guessed it, Rupp Arena. Apparently, Kentucky has a good basketball team. However, everyone knows what Kentucky is most famous for- CHEERLEADING! There happened to be a competition at the Rupp Arena, however I did not get to attend, maybe next time! There was an awesome exhibit at the Lexington Convention Bureau that Lauren and I talked the boys into going to- The Body Exhibit:
This exhibit was seriously one of the neatest things I've ever seen. I so wish I could bring my class to see it. The exhibit showcases real preserved human bodies. The bodies are dissected to show all the bodily systems. AWESEOME.
We weren't allowed to take pictures throughout the exhibit, unfortunately. However, my favorite part were the embyros. They showcased embryos beginning at 4 weeks and up. It is amazing how real a baby looks in the womb even at four weeks, truly a miracle.
I copied this from a website- the picture does not do it justice. It was unreal.
Next, we toured some of the campus which was lovely! especially with all the Fall foliage.
Then off to Houston's last game before being fired. (I will always love Houston!)
After the game, we went to a resturant called "Hugh Jass Burgers." Pretty interesting! Great burgers though:)
Brothers!
Most all of my closest friends know my obsession with the movie, "Elizabethtown." It came out when I was a freshman in college and was instantly added to the list of movies that I watch over and over again. Naturally when we decided to go to Kentucky, I hoped we would pass Elizabethtown, KY. And we did!! I was more than excited. Lauren and I watched the movie on the way to and from Kentucky. While most of the movie was filmed in another location, the sign is shown in the movie. Of course, I had to get a picture.
Cross it off the bucket list!!
