Newest Kentucky capital, capital grounds and down home country cooking

We had been told from several people that this was not a capital worth seeing-yikes they were really wrong-it is one of the most beautiful capitals that we have seen yet. We had a tour with an enthusiastic young lady who really new her history.

The grounds around this capital were absolutely beautiful-even on a cloudy sunless day.

House of Representatives

Supreme Court-Ron is the Chief Justice for the day.
Here we are in the Senate

I was very impressed with the name plates of each representative-when the representative wants to address the leader they take their microphone and stand it straight up.

Peppers and other unknown plants make up the planter in front of the capital.
These peppers are used as part of the landscaping  color scheme.



Not a fancy place, but good food and look at the prices
Kathy's catfish, grits, fries and cornbread (the pancake looking things on the plate).

Ron's Country ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw and cornbread.

This is a real time keeping clock with the word Kentucky spelled out in the flowers.

Tree hanging baskets were on the grounds
