🇺🇸 Kentucky 3-Day Getaway | Horses, Bourbon & Caves 🐎🥃🏞️

(Easter road trip from Ohio—where the scenery got real empty real fast...) 🗓 Day 1: Louisville Speedrun 🏇 Kentucky Derby Museum Backside Tour: Saw racehorses in their stables (Derby’s once a year, but the culture’s year-round!). ⚾ Slugger Museum / 🥊 Ali Center: Skip unless you’re a superfan. 🥃 Evan Williams Bourbon Experience (BOOK AHEAD!) 1hr tour with tastings—their corn-heavy bourbon is unexpectedly smooth. Local exclusives alert! 🗓 Day 2: Mammoth Cave NP 🕳️ Domes & Dripstones Tour (2hrs): Beginner-friendly stalactites + epic caverns. 🧗 For daredevils: Try Wild Cave Tour (4hrs of crawling!) or Grand Avenue (longer but scenic). ☕ Pro tip: Parking hack—head to the lodge Starbucks if lots are full. *Don’t buy souvenirs pre-tour (15% coupon at the end!)*. 🗓 Day 3: Detour History 🪵 Lincoln Birthplace NHS: Tiny cabin + memorial hall. Worth a stop for history buffs! #Kentucky #BourbonTrail #MammothCave #SoloTravel
