The University of Kentucky campus is a must see. Also had a tour of Rupp Arena which was amazing The University life, and the prettiest girls I've ever seen. Had a basketball tournament there, that whole state is crazy for basketball.
There are nine operating bourbon distilleries in KY. The best to visit from Lexington are Labrot and Graham (most convenient and prettiest) and Buffalo Trace (home of the best bourbon). If you really are interested in bourbon I recommend Buffalo Trace -- a short drive from Lexington (30 - 40 minutes) in Frankfort! Ask for Freddie. Or take both tours. north of Frankfort on US 421, about 27 miles northwest of Lexington.
Labrot and Graham is quite beautiful. But while the profile Woodford Reserve the inside story is that it is still made in Louisville at their Brown-Forman distillery. The whiskey in the L&G distillery has not met their taste profile (yet). To get there from Lexington, you could take a scenic drive along US 60 West Shortly after passing the US 60/Ky. 1685 intersection, turn left onto Grassy Spring Road; when the road dead ends turn right onto McCracken Pike. Labrot and Graham is on the left. (859) 879-1812.
You could also take I-64 for a faster trip. Exit Route 60, drive east and follow the signs. The distillery is about 23 miles west of Lexington
I do NOT recommend the Wild Turkey Tour. It is shorter and I found the guide far less informative.
While shopping at the local supermarket we spyed a sign that said FREE WIFI. Since we needed a wireless Internet connection to get four computers going all at the same time, this became our lunch stop.
Located in the Palomar Center "strip mall" at the intersection of Lyon and Harrodsburg Road we found a very comfortable "local" establishment.
The owner, Tom O Brien, noticed that we were part of the horse crowd in town for the World Equestrian Games was quick to stop by our table and welcome us to town. I suspect that even if the games were not being held, he'd stop by anyway just to say hello and greet people. Burgers.....Burgers....Burgers....Ok, and beer. If we lived in Lexington, this could become my favorite haunt. Although it's technically a "chain" each are individually owned. This one has friendly people and good food. It's nothing fancy but everything was done to perfection. We even got our fries extra crispy on the first try.
