Our Trip to Louisville

Fred had to make a trip to Louisville so we all decided to go with him. In the beginning the trip was about Fred defending his doctorate, but once we started planning this became an afterthought!! We had the best time! As you can see below Jack really enjoyed his ice cream. We ate at several good restaurants, at the advice of my friend Carrie. Our first stop was at a hamburger place called W.W. Cousins. We all enjoyed homemade buns with our hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries and onion rings. Yummie! After that we went for some ice cream at Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen. The boys and I had ice cream and Fred had an upside down caramel cupcake. Then we all rolled back to our hotel room for bedtime and a few games of CandyLand. The next morning we ate breakfast at Lynn's Paradise Cafe. Yummie again!! We all shared homemade granola, huge pancakes, and scrambled eggs. Delicious! While Fred was completing his defense the boys and I went to a local mall and they got to play on an indoor play area. Fred called around 4 and we went to get him at the seminary. He completed his doctorate with flying colors. Now with only a few minor style corrections and graduation he will be Dr. Fred!! Sounds funny, doesn't it!?!

This is the other hafl of dan & tami. I also like the hat and want to say congrats to Fred. He was always good at defense. He was a good shot blocker in basketball. Also, Fred, you look quite stylish in the family photo. Glad you guys are doing well.

Fred said...

Good defense, eh? That's what they say when you can't shoot, right?

Dan and Tami said...

Something like that. You shot pretty well, too, though. That little shot that you would kind of throw over your shoulder was nice.
