{Weekend Adventure} Day 1 - Birthplace of KFC + Kentucky State Capitol + Parkette Drive-In

With Hubby's schedule pretty filled up with Army National Guard obligations through the beginning of April, we decided to take this last free weekend with all 5 of us together (for awhile) and go on a little family adventure to...
{It was just a little bit sunny!}
With soccer games this morning, we didn't get out of town until late morning, but we had one goal in sight - make it to Frankfort, the capital city of Kentucky, before it got too dark.
Well, we didn't quite get there before dark, but we did take a fun detour along the way...
 
We had fun looking around and snacking on some mashed potatoes and potato wedges (that's right, we didn't even order the famous chicken!) from one of the original booths...

 

Now, we aren't big KFC eaters or anything, but I can't pass up the birthplace of something like that!
Next Stop - Kentucky State Capitol Building - Frankfort, KY
Well, we didn't quite make it by dark (we were a day before the "spring forward" time change), but (though it doesn't look like it from the photos) we DID get there by dusk...
 
Hubby took B and L up the stairs, so that B could check that off his list.  He wants to visit every capitol building in each of the 50 states and "run up the stairs to the top"...



Frankfort, Kentucky - CHECK

Last Stop - Dinner at the Parkette Drive-In - Lexington, KY


From Frankfort, we headed over to Lexington to grab dinner at a fun little place featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives...
