Rome, the eternal city, has so much to offer- Insanely delicious food, fascinating history, and monuments older than we can comprehend.  I hate billing a historic city as merely a backdrop for photo opportunities.

It’s scenic, but when you’re meant to go 45mph on a narrow one lane road (that’s is not a one WAY road mind you), it can be a little nerve wracking 🫣

Other cars popping up out of nowhere- plus the occasional rogue sheep- makes things… memorable. 🐑

One museum trip turned into the best family weeken One museum trip turned into the best family weekend we’ve had in a while 🏇

We originally headed to Louisville for the Kentucky Derby Museum @derbymuseum ! 🏇 If you haven’t been, it’s genuinely worth it. Way more interactive than we realized, and the kids were loving it. 

We also got tickets to see the live racing happening right next to it at @churchilldowns , and that ended up being one of those unexpected travel favorites! 🥳 Who knew my 5 year old would love helping his dad bet on horses so much 😜

We also hit up PlayPort playground @waterfrontparklou (save this if you have little ones), spent a few hours at  @louisvillezooofficial , and explored the city in between. 🏙️ 

Louisville is an ideal weekend trip destination (just 1.5 hours from NKY!), and I feel like a lot of people have been sleeping on it. 🚙

We packed in two full days without feeling rushed, and the kids were happy the whole time (which as any mom knows, is the real win 😄)

If you’re looking for a unique and character filled family getaway, @gotolouisville needs to be on your list! 📍

Thank you so much to the derby museum for hosting us! 💙 

Also thanks to @aloftlouisville for being the perfect place to stay to explore the city! 🏨

Seeing the whale shark at Georgia Aquarium was every bit as incredible as I hoped! 🩵

We planned our trip to Atlanta specifically to visit here, and it for sure lived up to the hype! 🐬

((If you ever want a way to break up your drive from Kentucky to Florida, this is one way to go!)) 🚙

Also, right now at @georgiaaquarium they have a special event going on (included with all tickets!)...

It’s called ✨ Glow Nights, and it transforms the aquarium with fun lighting, projections, themed entertainment, and special glow in the dark vibes and performances. 🪼This happens every evening after 4 p.m. through August 9!

We spent around 5 hours here, as there is so much to see. It’s one of the largest aquariums in the world with over 8 different galleries! 🩵

Dolphin & sea lion presentations are also included in general admission tickets! 🐬🦭

Let me know if you have any questions ⬇️

Thank you so much to the aquarium for hosting us- core memories made!

This road trip is so ideal, 😍 you get to explore huge cities like London 🇬🇧 and then slower paced days in Wales enjoying castles 🏰 and towns with hardly any other tourists. 

Scotland has my heart as you know, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so adding that to the end of this UK road trip schedule makes it that much better! 🚙
