Lexington

Thursday morning we left for Lexington, Kentucky. We took a scenic route which was most definitely worth the time. The landscape is gorgeous here. Along the way we stumbled upon Kentucky's state capitol
building in Frankfurt.


When we made it to Lexington our first stop was The Garden Cafe for lunch. This little gem was featured in Southern Living magazine. It is a house that was converted into an antique and gift shop and the restaurant takes up about three rooms of the house. There were so many cute things for sale. Our friend Savanna lives in Lexington so we were able to spend the day with her. Thanks Savanna! We had a blast!


The food was delicious. If you're ever in Lexington, don't miss this place. I had a pasta salad and for dessert we shared cheese cake with raspberry sauce and lemon geranium pound cake with a lemon glaze.
Is your mouth watering yet? 


Our next stop was Keeneland Race Park. Stayed tuned for parts 2 and possibly 3 of Lexington. We saw so much and took too many great pics to cram into one post.

Kentucky Opera's second show  The Elixir of Love opened last night. I'm going tomorrow. I can't believe we only have four more weeks here. Time has flown. Gabe's biggest show is next, The Barber of Seville . The opera is going to be semi staged with orchestra in Owensboro, KY. Gabe is playing the title role so he is super pumped about that performance. More details to come :) Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!
