During the Fourth of July weekend, our family headed to Louisville for a little adventure. Louisville is about a 5-5.5 hour drive from the Chicagoland area making the city a great option for a long weekend. The charming city, friendly residents, great food, inspiring cultural treasures and precious views of the Ohio River keep us coming back again and again! We have visited Louisville a few times during longer vacations to explore other places as well. So, it was wonderful to spend an entire three days exploring the city.
