Saturday we took Michael and Kristen to Bernheim Forest and had a really a nice afternoon!Bernheim Forest is an arboretum and research forest- 14,000 acres donated by Isacc Bernheim, a German immigrant who made his fortune in the whiskey distilling business. He donated his land to the people of Kentucky as a thank you. It is also a lovely place to spend the day hiking and enjoying nature without having to drive too far (it's on 65 South, about 30 minutes from Louisville, about 15 miles north of Elizabethtown).
There are plenty of trails, picnic areas, parks for children- lots of stuff to do.
The canopy tree walk is fun- it's 75 feet above the forest floor and the bridge sways. I'm not usually afraid of heights, but swaying at 75 feet is another story.
The three of them went for a hike through the woods (I'm 33 weeks pregnant and decided to hang out closer to the car). And I'm glad I didn't go because they all came back with TICKS!!! Aside from the ticks, it was a lovely day. Nice and cool. The rain held off until we were leaving :)
