Back this week with another city guide this time for Lexington, Kentucky.  Lexington’s about 75 minutes down the road from Louisville, known as the “Horse Capital of the World,” and is the second largest city in Kentucky while being the 60th largest in the United States.

24 Hour Challenge + What to Do in Nashville

Last week, I got to spend just shy of 24 hours in Nashville.  I actually was there for the last stop of Michelle Obama’s book tour, but obviously had to sneak in a couple meals too.  While I’m hoping to get back to Nashville for a whole weekend soon, I still wanted to share where I stayed and where we ate.
