Bi-planes, Burgers and Baseball

There are some guys who have good wives and there are some who have great wives.  There are even fewer though, who are truly blessed and have a one in a lifetime spouse.  This is the gategory that my wife, Karalee, falls into.  I don't just say that because of the day we have had today but because of all the wonderful things she does and because of the wonderful person she is.  Today is a great example...

Today we took a road trip to Louisville to celebrate my upcoming birthday.  We left about 11:30 and our first stop was to see Kathy Ruder who does bio-energetic work.  Kathy has been a tremendous help for the Doggett's and we are getting on board with her work.  She was able to identify my nutritional defiencies and am ready to get started on the program! 

The next stop was Bowman Field for a flight in a 1993 Waco YMF bi-plane!  What a blast...aside the fact it was almost 100 degrees today...  We got to fly over the Louisville Airport, Churchhill Down and the Ohio River.

After our flight we were both getting very hungry.  We jumped back in the car and headed over to one of Louisville's classic resturants... Lynn's Paradise Cafe.  This resturant has been on the Food Network many times for its wonderful foods.  We both ordered hamburgers but not just any hamburgers.  Karalee's had burbon glazed bacon on it, need I say more??  Mine had 1/2 pound burger, hashbrowns, two medium eggs, bacon, lettuce and tomatoe.  Top that off with a side of onion rings and it made for a feast.  Though, it did induce a food coma on the way home.



As if we hadn't eaten enough we headed over to a little place called "Coco's Chocolate Cafe" and got some gourmet chocolates.  I do not have a picture of them but here is the website.

By this time of the day it was time to start heading back.  Kennick had been with Nanni and Granddad and they headed to one of the last Hot Rod Baseball games of the year. We headed to Bowling Green and caught a portion of the game before we had to head home so that Kennick could go to bed.
