"My family and I try to take some time about once a month, and make a trip downtown Louisville. We enjoy spending a warm, sunny summer day together walking from one museum to another taking tours at each. We usually like to go down to Waterfront Park and let the children play on the playground as well. There are so many fun and educational museums for each of us! Our boys enjoy The Science Center, Muhammed Ali Museum, Frazier Arms and The Louisville Slugger Museum which my husband enjoys just as much! I am an artsy type and thoroughly enjoy the Museum of Arts and Crafts!"
