A Little Bit of Foodie Fun

This past Saturday, Tim and I spent most of the day in Louisville. We had tickets to see Wicked that evening and went up a bit early to experience the sights and sounds of Louisville.

Of course, what would any trip be without a taste experience?

So, we joined a tour--City Tastes offers a sights and sweets tour that allows patrons to enjoy a few historical sights in Louisville while indulging in some sweet tasty treats along the way from some local bakery delights.  This activity was right up my alley--I am just passionate about FOOD and sweet treats in particular!

We were able to enjoy many local features of Louisville.  We also enjoyed the ladies on the tour with us.  The entire ride was filled with conversation about all of the great eateries in Louisville--a culinary mecca in the US.  One thing was quite clear, Tim and I need to visit Louisville again soon to partake in some excellent food adventures!

A few photos from our trip:

This is a donut with maple icing with crisp bacon on top.  It is from a bakery in German town.  I only tried a bite of Tim's--actually quite tasty, especially if you enjoy a little salty sweet!

Shimpff's Candy Store--this place was amazing.  It was absolutely packed with folks picking up their chocolates and other goodies!  We watched the Schimpff's make some cinnamon hard candies and were delighted in the Schimpff's endearing entertaining candy making presentation!  There were soooo many varieties of candies at Schimpff's that I cannot wait to return when it is less crowded and I have more time so that I can indulge, indulge, indulge! 

It was at Schimpff's that I was able to purchase a chocolate frog sucker for Dustin.  He devoured that sucker in less than 10 seconds flat.  Then, he requested more chocolate!  Ah, in this way, he is certainly his momma's son!

Tim and I are grateful to my mom and Mike for having fun with Dustin and Jackson while we were able to have a special date day!!  Wicked was absolutely EXCELLENT!!
