We just got back from a whirlwind three university visits in three days mini-spring break. We left Sunday to get to the University of Kentucky tour Monday morning. Along the way we stopped in Louisville to visit the Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum. The museum had bats hanging from the ceiling:
After the factory tour, on which they explained a lot about professional baseball bats, we each were given a mini souvenir bat. Here are the kids posing outside the museum with a huge Louisville Slugger bat:
On Monday we went over to the university for the tour. The campus is pretty and we even saw a daffodil (won't be seeing that in Chicago any time soon). They're doing a lot of building there. The library was pretty new and they're building several new dorm buildings:
This is the lobby of the dorm we went into; it looks like a hotel lobby:
And the dorm room they showed us was spacious and nicely decorated:
A random shot of some classroom buildings:
This was E's favorite part - the rock-climbing wall in the student rec center. It's free for all students to use.
And, of course, we can't stop at a university without checking out the bookstore. L found a blue wig to get her into the Kentucky spirit. No, she didn't buy it and bring it home.

Is there any chance I might use it in an article? Eldorado built the new climbing wall at U of K and the article is about climbing wall refurbishment.
