Labor Day In Kentucky

Today we decided to explore more of Kentucky. We went to Frankfort which is the state capital. It wasn't very far and we thought that would be a fun short trip. We really wanted to see the museum of Kentucky history but it was closed. We were able to walk around the Capitol Building and the grounds and admire the beautiful scenery. We also went and saw the Old Capitol Building and learned that there have been four Capitols. The first two burnt down and we saw the other two. We also saw a statue of William Goebel, who may be related to Scott somewhere down the line. He was one of the Governors of Kentucky who was martyred. We were able to see a chocolate factory that was started by two woman entreprenuers before women were allowed to vote. We saw a few shops downtown that had some really nice pottery and other unique items. Below is a SmileBox of some of the pictures we took. Enjoy!
