Lexington: The Horse Capital of the World. Travels with Mom

We arrive at the Kentucky Horse Park during their famous Three Day Event, then visit the Kentucky State Capitol in nearby Frankfort. On the next day we tour Lexington in the morning, exploring its historic district, including Mary Todd Lincoln's house, her birth place, and the rest of the historic neighborhood including some beautiful antebellum homes. The Thoroughbred Park with a sculpture dedicated to the horse-racing industry. We drive by the beautiful horse farms surrounding Keeneland Race Track, and end the day by taking the Woodford Reserve Distillery tour and finally get to taste some Bourbon.
Please help me make better videos: travelingrobert...
We tow a 2015 Winnebago Micro Minnie 1706FB travel trailer, with a 2004 Kia Sorento EX RWD.

Beautiful video. KY is a very nice state and Lexington is a good city to live.

The scenery is spectacular Robert. Lexington,Ky and surrounding areas are some of the most beautiful in the south/nation . Plus, with the Horses and Bourbon. What an amazing area. Awesome video Robert.

Lexington is in Fayette County, named for Marquis de LaFayette in recognition of his help during the Revolutionary War. Paris is in Bourbon County, named for the ruling family in France at the time. Naming is less due to direct French influence than for gratitude to France for its help in gaining America’s independence from Great Britain. Thanks for highlighting our beautiful state. We have a lot to offer to visitors.

My mother is 83 this year. I remember picking her from from where she lived and taking her to Washington, DC to see the fireworks on the mall. Every year since then she has watched the DC fireworks, and I with her and my children. I now understand it is not the fireworks; but the time with family that matters. Moms show us these things. HAPPY 4TH.

I'm from Kentucky....my home state is very beautiful. Just a quick input, Versailles, is pronounced with a long A, like in the word sail.... Ver-sails. We don't say it like the French do, or say it with a fancy twist. We're just country. LOL But you made me giggle with the narrating and the cool accent... loved the video, and seeing others love visiting where I grew up. Lexington and all the surrounding areas has been my home, and I'll never grow tired of it.

Now that is Kentucky. One of my favorite States, along with Florida sunsets. Those fields with white fences, the country roads, the rolling land, the horses neighing in the fields jumping and playing. How beautiful. Bob Ross use to say, you never make a mistake. When you took what you called a wrong turn, I want to say,....You took a right turn. What a ride and you would have missed it had you gone another way. Loved it. Oh yes and your "momma," what a treasure. Each time she was taking pictures, she wanted to be just like her son. Your mother is so very precious. She also makes you a better person every day because of her unconditional love for you. You are all absolutely precious and everything that the United States and Canada are all about.

What a shock to see your video today. I'm visiting family in Lexington this week, and we drove on those exact roads today! I know you shot this earlier, since it was hot today, and your mom has a jacket on! But you captured great samples of the beauty of this area. The horse farms are my favorite areas. By the way, they produce Versailles "ver sales" here!

Lexington, my hometown. Beautiful video, so well done. Lexington used to be a Southern town even though the state remained neutral in the war between the States. The tourist guide has become "politically correct". On Mill st, your camera unknowingly swept by a historical home of Confederate Gen. John Hunt Morgan, son-in-law of the Hunt family, 1st millionaire E. of the mississippi. A Historical Statue of Gen. John H. Morgan on his mount "ole Bess" used to be in front right of the old court house. Uninformed liberals had the over 100 year statue removed because it offended them. A heartbreak for us Southerns who did lose the war, but that was not enough for these hate mongers. Also, Lexington is the Home of Henry Clay.

That area Lexington/Frankfort is where I'd summer ( to be nearer my friend in south western Indiana ) it would still be the south Technically. And it's kinda hilly ( like I'm used to ) but not the mountains of Eastern Ky. Even if it snows like a booger there I would just winter in Fl. My husband could also easily find work in the capitol. I tend to like capitol city's. Like Tally. Hey you forgot to say "Gallop Horsey Gallop!" LOL

Great video, Robert. You make things so interesting and you’re a good narrator. Being a horse person, I was a little disappointed that you didn’t go to the horse event that was going on when you were there. Minitini was parked right next door. That Rolex event has some of the best horse athletes in the world, and the cross country event is the best! They go over what look like impossible barriers, and the jumps are so high. Maybe next time?
