The Greatest Show on Earth
Tomorrow night, my family will get to be under the Big Top for the Greatest Show on Earth! We are so excited! Up till now, my kids experience with the circus is this:
Dixie Belle Riverboat
Located just minutes outside of Harrodsburg, KY is a great riverboat cruise down the Kentucky River. The Dixie Belle Riverboat is a hidden jewel in our bluegrass area and well worth the trip. We took a cruise this last week and discovered some of the most beautiful parts of Kentucky that I’ve ever seen. This…
