Nationals In Louisville

Last Sunday, we left home and headed to Louisville for the National Fine Arts Festival.  Autumn met us there and spent the week with us.


On Monday, we scouted out parking downtown, registered for the week's events, and took a few minutes to look around downtown.  The girls capped the day off with a dip in the pool.  


On Tuesday we didn't have anything requiring us to be at the convention center so we took a relaxing drive and visited a historic landmark.  Then we went out on paddle boats.  When we got back to the hotel, the girls again decided to cool off in the pool.  


Both girls' presentations were on Wednesday.  The time in between was spent looking around the exhibit hall and admiring the artwork that made it to the national level.  Once again, they ended the day in the pool.  


On Thursday, I opted to stay at the hotel and rest while Autumn took the girls to explore Squire Boone's Caverns.  The girls were quite excited since they had never been in a cave before.  


On Friday, the girls and I headed back to the convention center so that they could each attend a different workshop while I stood in line to pick up their score sheets.  Then we walked around downtown a bit more and snapped photos with a few more horse statues.  


On Saturday, we packed up and headed home.
