My husband is a hard man to shop for. I'm sure many other wives can relate. He either wants something expensive (new motorcycle or boat) or something practical (new underwear.) There is no middle ground. So I started searching for things that we could do together. My theory is that going on an adventure and making memories is better than accumulating more stuff that will end up in the garage. So I hatched a plan. My husband likes bourbon (as do I) and bourbon is made in Kentucky, so away we went.
The Shaker Village was hosting a bourbon themed dinner with a discount on accommodations. This is a fascinating place and a bit like traveling back in time. If you are a history buff and and a bourbon lover then this is a dream come true.

The restaurant in the inn is really great and there were some lovely paintings on display not to mention the wonder that is the shaker staircase in the hall. We also went to visit the Woodford Reserve Distillery. If you only have time to visit one distillery, visit this one.

We had the top floor of this building to ourselves. The front bottom portion was a part of the historical tour.
