Cross the Blue Bridge


If you are looking for a day trip, I suggest crossing the blue bridge to Owensboro, KY.  Owensboro is only a 45 minute drive and has so much to offer.  Fridays and Saturdays are the best time to visit.  This is my presumptive bucket list for 2016.  Can you think of anything to add? Let me know!




1.      Check out the FREE Splash Park at Smothers Park with a riverside view
2.      Bring the kiddos to the most unique playground in the area. Lazy Dayz Playground is known for being handicap accessible.  This park is also riverside and connects to the splash park
3.      Stop by the concession stand or bring a picnic.
4.      Satisfy your sweet tooth at The Cup Cakery or Cold Stone Creamery just across the road from the Lazy Dayz park.
5.      Enjoy a relaxing stroll along the river and take in the riverside views and beautiful fountains. 
6.      Check out the Greenbelt, a 15-mile paved trail that encircles the city.  Rent a bike from Boro Bikes solar-powered kiosks for $5/hour.

7.      Stroll through the downtown area and support the unique, local businesses.
8.      Visit Nona’s Downtown Market.
9.      Attend “Friday after 5” event with a free concert series May-September.
10.   Pick your own fruit at Reid’s Orchards 
11.  Experience a drive-in movie at Holiday Drive-In, about 10 minutes away from Owensboro.
