This post is so nice from Emily, I wanted everyone to enjoy it and I added some photos, sorry, I couldn't get her photos to show up on our page.
What's the best way to celebrate a birthday? π Well of course a Mystery Trip with Eagle Rock Tours! Today is the final day, # 4, of our Fall Mystery trip. We had the BEST time with the BEST passengers. They treat us tour guides like family and share their love. I appreciate the Happy Birthday wishes, cards, and gifts. They know how to make you feel special. π
We took 2 buses this week, with approx 100 passengers to learn all about Oldham County, Kentucky. This county sits right outside of Louisville and is a hidden gem of horse farms, trains, rich history, quaint shops, and my favorite bourbon! π₯ The fun part of a Mystery Trip is the passengers have NO idea where they are going. If they asked me.... we were going "just around the corner".
We had the best time with our local tour guides, Kim and Maggie, with Oldham County Tourism and Conventions. This is what our time in Oldham County looked like:
Day 1 - Cheeky Art Museum, LaGrange Railroad Museum
Day 2 - Little Colonel Playhouse, Yew Dell Botanical Gardens, lunch with Captain Mary Miller, ( our lunch was with Abraham Lincoln), Hermitage Farm tour, Kentucky Artisan Distillery, and dinner at Creasey Nature Preserve learning all about Champion Trees
Day 3 - Knock on Wood Mercantile, Oldham Cty History Center - Underground Railroad, Ele
vated Kentucky Derby Fall Tea, shopping in downtown LaGrange, Highpointe Training Center, dinner at One Nineteen West Main.
Day 4 - Rose Bakery, Veterans Memorial Park, and lunch at Claudia Sanders Dinner House.
So much fun stuff in only 4 days!
Thanks Emily Murphy for spending your birthday with us!
