Polly’s Freeze is an icon for southern Indiana, opening in 1952. Just off I-64 at the Georgetown exit, it isn’t a far drive from downtown Louisville, and is definitely worth the short drive! They’re only open about half the year, so my family always takes advantage of beautiful summer weather and makes a couple trips each year. Last year, we […]

We got to […]

My kids and I really enjoyed Oldham County Day. We got to the Downtown Historic LaGrange area around 9am and easily found a parking spot. Then we walked toward the LaGrange courthouse. (A friend had told us the surrounding parking areas were few and far between, and filled up by parade time. Then you need to park at a farther […]

I attended the ribbon cutting yesterday at the brand new Jeffersontown Skyview Park Splash Park, which opens today, and found it very nice and a refreshing way for families in the Jeffersontown area to cool off and have fun. The splash park is a pretty typical set up, with 26 splash features on 2200 square feet of concrete. It sits […]

Allison was given a pizza voucher for purpose of review. My family and I had the opportunity to give Blaze Fire’d Pizza a try, in fact we ventured in on Father’s day.
