Midwest Roadtrip Part II: Louisville + The Bachelorette

Our Midwest roadtrip continued with Louisville, Kentucky...such a cool, quirky city! We followed GQ's Guide to Louisville and grabbed pizza at Garage Bar - the pizza and cocktails were amazing! I had the basil gimlet...people in Louisville make their drinks strong!

We did a little antique shopping on Market Street and found a great collection of vintage goodies. 

Market Street itself was full of cute shops, bars, and restaurants. 

We also visited the Riverwalk in Kentucky...beautiful views! 

We enjoyed two dinners Saturday night, which we tend to do when we travel to solve the dilemma,

"Too many restaurants, too little meals!"

Dinner One was at The Oakroom, Kentucky's only AAA Five Diamond Restaurant, which just happened to be in our hotel, The Seelbach Hilton, which F. Scott Fitzgerald has stayed at and is rumored to also have come up with the premise of The Great Gatsby. Beautiful, old-fashioned hotel with lots of granite, marble, and oak finishings...

Dinner Two was at Proof on Main, the restaurant inside 21C Museum & Hotel. This was a boutique hotel that also had a museum and full bar and restaurant inside - genius. We had gotten multiple recommendations to check this place out, and I'm glad we did. The food was delicious (Chef Michael Paley heads up this as well as Garage Bar) - if you go, you must try the charred octopus appetizer - definitely my favorite! 

On Sunday, we walked around Bardstown Road - another fun and quirky area in Louisville. I found a cute little vintage shop that turned out to be an absolute gem! I was going to put some pictures up today of my finds, but they are so special that I thought they deserved a post of their own - tomorrow, I promise! 

I'll give you a little teaser though - let's just say I found a little Louis Vuitton in Louisville! 

Why Louisville, Why Louisville - thanks for being so good to us this weekend!
We'll definitely be back for Round Two!

P.S. Who watched the Bachelorette last night? Charlie is definitely my new front runner and favorite!
