Have you ever bet on horses a million times and didn't even have to pay a penny out of your pocket? I did in Kentucky. In Kentucky we visited Kentucky Derby Museum, Louisville Slugger Museum, Zaxby's restaurant, and Puzzle's Fun Dome.

The Kentucky Derby Museum was awesome! They had a ton of interactive exhibits. My favorite exhibit was a betting machine. First you place your bet on the horse you think will win and which horse you think will get second and third. Then you sit down on a bench and cheer them on to first, second, and third place. Levi and I played it for half an hour. Another fun exhibit was three plastic racing horses that you ride and try to beat your opponent.

The Louisville Slugger Museum was much better than I thought. I thought it would be boring because I'm not really into baseball. They had awesome batting cages! I'm not as bad at hitting a softball than I thought! I made contact with every ball except three. The Louisville Slugger Museum which we were able to take a tour of makes wooden bats.

In Kentucky we went to a huge church. It was the biggest church I've ever seen! Last week over sixteen thousand people came to the Saturday and Sunday services. I really liked the service because it had some humor, and I actually understood him. If we end up living in Kentucky, I would love to go there again.

 Zaxby's was a delicious restaurant. They are famous for their chicken, but I think they should be famous for their sauce. It's called Zax sauce. It's the best sauce I have ever tasted! Trust me, I have eaten more sauces than you can count. The sauce is hard to explain what it tastes like, so I won't. You have to go there yourself to find out.

We went to a place called Puzzle's Fun Dome, and it was fun. They had five inflatables. One had two cylinders, and one person stood on each one. Each person also gets a plastic stick with two very soft and big pillow like ends. Then they fight and see who falls off first. They also had Cosmic basketball which is glow-in-the-dark basketball.

In conclusion Kentucky was one of my favorite states. I would highly recommend Kentucky Derby Museum, Louisville Slugger Museum, a big church, Zaxby's, and Puzzle's Fun Dome. By the way, I still have eight years until I can even think about real betting.

  1. Was the church in Louisville? It's right down the street from my office there. It's ranked as one of the biggest churches in the US.
