We decided to experience the fine city of Lexington on the cheap. This consisted of driving around scenic byways looking for blue grass and looking for some of the wacky attractions described on Roadside America.
As it turns out, the grass here is actually green. A lot of it gets eaten by horses, like the one seen above.

Some more of the scenic pastures and the green Kentucky bluegrass.
Rob and I at Bondurant's Pharmacy in Lexington. It was the first drive-through anything in Lexington, and it's shaped like a giant mortar and pestle. Best of all? It's free to see!
Here's another free oddity we found on Roadside America -- the world's largest Dixie Cup water tower. Who thinks of these things?
Below, Karen waves hello from Noah's Ark. You see, Lexington is home to the world's largest Bible-themed mini-golf course! We didn't know what to expect, but fans of bible-themed mini-golf will not be disappointed by this course. There were THREE separate courses we could have done -- the Old Testament, the New Testament, and Miracles. We decided to go in order and just tackle the Old Testament for today.
Each hole was accompanied by a corresponding bible verse that golfers can read as they putt on through.
The dreaded Mount Sinai, which took each of us about 12 strokes before we gave up and went onto the next hole.
We took many more pictures that won't be posted for space reasons... like the God Created Light hole, the Wall of Jericho hole, Jonah and the Whale hole, and my personal favorite -- the And On The 7th Day God Rested Hole. Only in the Bible Belt could you find a golf course like this!
Speaking of the Bible Belt, check out the Wilmore water tower. I know it's an overcast day and the tower is white, but you should be able to see a giant white cross perched on top of the tower.
Karen and Rob wait in the car while I got out to snap a scenic picture.
