We geared up for the drive from Memphis to New Orleans as the end of the road-trip quickly approached. The drive is about 6 hours in total. On the way there we made a quick stop in Jackson, Mississippi. There wasn’t much to see when we arrived. I was just happy to be visiting yet another state that I had never stepped foot in. While in Jackson we made a dash to the Civil Rights Museum to make a purchase at their gift shop. We actually did this in every city. Then we drove

 

the famous soul food restaurant Sweetie Pie’s but decided not to dine there since the original location is in St. Louis. We’ll have to try Sweetie Pie’s on another trip.

I went on a road trip through the south and this is part 2 of my experience. In part 1 I left off telling you all about my take on the Cincinnati area. Make sure you go back and read all about it if you haven’t already.

Louisville, Kentucky

Next up on the trip was Louisville Kentucky. We only spent about a half of a day there in total. We visited Angel’s Envy distillery in downtown Louisville. We opted to try their bourbon and whiskey tasting experience which was very fun and informative. The host seemed to know everything there is to know about bourbon from its history down to the science of making it. Fun fact: Kentucky is the only place in the world where bourbon can legally be made so it’s kind of a big deal. You can go on tours at distilleries like Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam, Bulleit and so many more while visiting the bluegrass state. Before leaving Louisville we stopped to see the beautiful mural dedicated to Brionna Taylor (she lived in Louisville), George Floyd and other victims of police killings.

Indoor plants are extremely popular and more people are discovering their green thumbs every day. Having plants in your home can be quite therapeutic. In my experience bringing a plant home and keeping it healthy and thriving gives me a sense or accomplishment. It sounds a little cheesy but something as small as watching your plant sprout new leaves can help enhance your mood. They also add to your home decor and can be quite stylish. To some keeping a plant may seem like a daunting responsibility so I thought I’d provide 6 tips for beginner plant owners.
