Road Trip With Me?

Full tank of gas? Check. iPod playlist? Check. PB &J? Double check.

Today I am driving to Kentucky for a conference that starts tomorrow. It’s a beautiful drive and I’m really looking forward to the open stretches of highway between here and there. I’m leaving in the early afternoon and I plan to stop and take pictures, if I can. It should be a beautiful drive and the Weather Channel is predicting a balmy 64 degrees. Take THAT, Punxsutawney Phil!

Road trips are my favorite time to tweet so if you’re on Twitter, I’d love some company tomorrow! You can tweet me @lohleegaggle any time and I’ll be sharing some tweets from the road, as well.

What do you find indispensable for long car trips?

Old Louisville

When Kyle and I were in Kentucky for Beth and Zach’s wedding a few weeks ago, we got to stay in a beautiful old home in Old Louisville. I’ve been dying to share these pictures but I got sidetracked. So here they are…a few of my favorite shots…

The picture below is from the Galt House, one of the oldest hotels in the city.

What about you? Anyone taken any trips this summer?

The Bachelorette: Kentucky Edition

I just got home from a weekend with my best friend, Beth, who is getting married in just eleven short days! Last night we went out for her bachelorette party. She gave me permission to post some pictures. Here are some of my favorites from the night…

Getting ready to go out…

The bachelorette…isn’t she pretty? She even put on the goofy veil I brought her.

We ended up at the bar and restaurant where Beth waits tables (when she’s not teaching yoga or acting or finishing her master of fine arts program). Had a couple drinks (including my first hurricane) and sang a ridiculous amount of karaoke.

The highlight was probably Beyoncé's All the Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It). Oh, and I sang Hey, Soul Sister by Train so my night was complete.

And at the end of the night (read: 3:45 am), because smart bachelorettes don’t ever drink and drive, Beth’s fiancé Zach came and picked us up. But before we left, the soon-to-be-marrieds sang a duet (The Monkees, I’m a Believer). I did not cry. No one saw me cry. You can’t prove a thing.

Looking forward to heading back to Louisville for the wedding in a couple weeks.

So how was YOUR weekend?

love, elizabeth
