Romantic Kentucky: More Than 300 Things to Do for Southern Lovers (Romantic South, 3)

Description

When people think of Kentucky, they often conjure images of thoroughbreds grazing on rolling bluegrass farmland behind miles of white fences, or the strains of "My Old Kentucky Home" on Derby Day. In this guidebook, the authors uncover some of the state's lesser-known charms, particularly those that lend themselves to romance.

Taking a broad view of romance, this book includes something for readers of every different lifestyle, interest, and income. You'll find everything from a bed-and-breakfast inn to a riverboat cruise to a historic Shaker village or to a scenic blackberry farm. Here's a sample of some of the authors' favorite sites and activities:

--View the Western hemisphere's only moonbow-a sort of nighttime rainbow--at Cumberland Falls

--Have breakfast and watch the morning workouts at historic Keeneland Race Track in Lexington

--Immerse yourself in a weekend of rousing music at the Great American Brass Band Festival in Danville

--Take your sweetheart on the Violet City Lantern Tour at Mammoth Cave

--Take a Moonlight Float on Elkhorn Creek near Frankfort during full-moon weekends.

Summary: "Plan A Kentucky Getaway For Two"

Growing up, I always wanted to go to Europe, after all that was the center of history and art in my school books...nowhere was there the idea of exploring the areas around home and across the US. I now realize that we have a lot to see and do right here in our back yard. This is the kind of book that opens doors to things you never knew were there. If you want to plan a Kentucky getaway for two, this is the book for you.

Summary: "Romantic Kentucky Does the Bluegrass State Proud!"

As a displaced Kentuckian limited to visiting once or twice a year, I was looking forward to this book to enhance my wife and mine's experiences. Although I am intimately familiar with the Lexington area, I was nonetheless delighted to find many central Kentucky locales that were new to me. The authors have obviously done their research, and have represented all regions of the state well. Most satisfying to me personally was the inclusion of Joseph-Beth Booksellers of Lexington. It is indeed a wonderful place for romance. This book is perfect for anyone looking for a romantic experience, and hopefully it will encourage more people to recognize Kentucky as the special place that it is.

Summary: "A delightful little book!"

I've visited many of the places in this book and the authors are right on target with their recommendations. I'll be planning other romantic getaways with my significant other with the help of this book. A must for anyone who is thinking of visiting Kentucky, as well as those of us fortunate to live here!
