Kentucky trip, day 6

April 21, 2007 Diamond Lake Resort Park, W. Louisville, KY.

We spent the last two days in Henderson at the Nat'l Audubon Park. I learned a lot about Audubon that I hadn't known before. He had a rough life, went into bankruptcy at least once. His wife, Lucy,out lived both John J. and his sons and was in poverty. She sold all his pictures to survive, but let the copper plates be destroyed.

We did a little e-mail from the Holiday Inn next door to the park, but it wasn't very satisfactory since the computer was having memory problems.

We are now camped at Diamond Lake Resort near W. Louisville (which you'll never find on a map if you look anywhere near Louisville, KY). It is just east of St. Joseph, Kentucky and way south and west of Owensboro, KY.

This is like camping in an amusement park. The kids are having a great time. The 2 little girls next door are driving their "John Deere pick-up truck" every minute the battery is working. We also watched the "Naskarts." This is quite a place for families. It has fishing ponds, race tracks, toy train, etc. and all for $21.00 per night. The race cars, fishing and train cost more though!
