Oh girl, I dont' know about that. I have family in, ok I can't spell - Yipslianti-somewhere outside of Detroit. When they come in, its the cutest thing ever! I don't know how to explain it, but some Michigan natives pronounce things with an 'o' as 'or' or 'orh'. Okay, its really hard to explain, but my Aunt and her best friend she brought home does it perfectly!
Okay, next state!
KENTUCKY!!!!!!
1.) Hello! Do I even have to say it.........University of Kentucky basketball!!!! Tradition, Love, Spirit!!! Basketball, it's a religion here!
2.) HORSE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD!!!!!!
3.) Derby - whether you like horses, races, or whatnot - this is the place to be, drunk or sober/ dressed up or dressed down, celebrity/non-celebrity.....party is in the infield!!!!!
4.) "My Old Kentucky Home" - How many of you practically cry everytime you hear your state song? No matter where you're at in Kentucky, whether its Commonwealth Stadium, Rupp Arena, or in the middle of a grocery store - you'll see that one Kentuckian, arm and arm with another, and one hand raised up for "we will sing one song for my old Kentucky home......" ah....tear!
5.) Experiencing all four seasons - some really hot summer days and some really cold winter nights!
6.) Caving - If you like to go caving or just like to explore random caves Kentucky is it! Mammoth Caves, Carter Caves, etc....all good camping and exploring sights.
7.) Marker's Mark! - ah yes, bourbon!!
8.) Illegal reasons! - ok, so I"m totally not in support of smoking pot. However, last year at Music Mid-Town in Atlanta - this guy was smoking right in front of me. I turned around to his friend and said "Lord, what does he have?". And the guy goes, "oh, its really good pot - you want some" I laughed and said, "No, really good pot is in Kentucky!" B/c that stuff smelled horrid.....and it took him like forever to even act like it was working, he looked like he was straining and his eyes were clear as day. Really good stuff smells like sweet grass! And I'll take my friends advice when they say it doesn't take long to work. So my advice, pot smokers - get your stuff from Kentucky!!
9.) Did I mention UK basketball?
10.) Nat'l Corvette Musuem .....for you fast car lovers
11.) Flatwoods, KY (where I"m from, yea I know don't laugh) - Proud home of Billy Ray Cyrus!!!!
(ok, actually he is a really good guy, he paid for the unexpected death of one the girls I went to high school with
)
12.) Ashland, KY (city right outside of Flatwoods) - Home of The Judds, primarily Ashley who loves UK basketball!!!
Ok, I'm getting really tired.....add more later.....
