Roadtrip- Day 4: I'm Sorry, You're Putting Your Hand WHERE?

Do the titles of the blogs scare you as much as they scare me sometime? Just checking.

We are nearing the end of our cross-country roadtrip, only 2 more days to go. But we may have saved some of the best for last. We're going to the only state that ends in "Ucky"...that's right, Kentucky. The Bluegrass State. Home of horse racing and Louisville Baseball Bats. However, I have some great locations in mind for the fourth day of the wedding roadtrip. Just south of Cincinnati, OH is the wonderful city of Fort Mitchell, KY. 8,700 shiny happy faces wait to greet you, but only 8,000 of those are human. This is no zombie town. It is home to the world's only museum dedicated to ventriloquism. The Vent Haven Museum is the world's destination for dummies.
There is an entire theater where the seats are filled with dummies (the ventriloquist type). Can you imagine walking into that dark room and flipping on the lights? Creepy. Between 900 and 1200 people visit the museum each year; we could help them have a banner year by hosting a wedding. There will always be someone to dance with! And if you like, you can stick around for the ConVENTion (that is how they type it) where dummies and their dolls (get the joke?) come to not talk to each other.

Once we have had our fill of people drinking water while their doll continues to talk, we can head about 15 minutes down the road to the night's accommodations. Down in Florence, KY is party central: the Wildwood Inn. What makes this place so special? The theme suites of course.
Just look at some of these rooms. A pirate ship? Check. Cheesy Cupid Room? Done. Some semblance of New York, or just a creepy statue in your room? They got that too. They even have a Tropical Dome, where the after-party can begin.




Because when I think Kentucky, I think Tropical Dome.

Really, this is what America is all about. Ignore wherever you are, let's think about someplace else. Las Vegas has Paris, New York, Italy, Oz, and plenty of others. When in Los Angeles you can go to China or Mexico. When in New York you can really be anywhere you most likely don't want to be. Why be happy where you are when there might someplace else that could be better? This is the American way and the only way to celebrate the wedding of B and Corrin. Sure, we want to be at the wedding, but there might be someplace better that we could be.
