Tourist in Your Hometown

So, "Mayor for Life" Jerry Abramson, is trying to get folks around the Ville to experience the city as a tourist would. Shannon and I kind of liked that idea and have talked recently about exploring some things in Louisville that we didn't know about or just never took the time for before.
I don't know if this falls under that heading, but Saturday night we got an "inside tour" of the Southern Seminary. We climbed a bell tower, looked over the city from a roof top, and explored underground tunnels (don't worry, we had permission). Who would've thought all that fun would be found at a Baptist School?
Here's a few pictures from our advednture.....

Fun!

Last time I was in Louisville, we went to the zoo and science center. (Both of which I've been too before, but still enjoyed!) I told Greg that when Cate gets older I want to go the Louisville Slugger Museum, especially because I've never been there.

There are more treasures to be found and wonders to be seen at Southern Seminary!
