National Kentucky Day
I’ve been a few times.., would like to explore KY some more.
I adopted a dog that was rescued from Kentucky. He was such a good boy. I miss him 🥺
Kentucky looks like such a beautiful state. So many wonderful places to visit. I have always loved watching the Kentucky Derby every year on TV.
