Kentucky...

Straight from Boston I went to Kentucky for work for the ATO congress. Mandy and I were there the whole time and Rob came in for a few days.
We mostly manned our booth and answered questions...
and also played a LOT of WII!! We were giving away a WII in a raffle so we had one at our booth. My arm was seriously sore after just the first day. I also created quite a few Miis that looked JUST like a few of the guys there.
When we weren't at our booth we found other things to do...for example:
When in Lousiville go to the Louisville Slugger Museum
ATO rented out the museum and had ballpark food throughout the whole place.
We also happened to go to the museum on the day the Red Sox traded Manny to the Dodgers.
Louisville Slugger creates bats for the World Series teams each year...here is Boston's set from last year.
The fake ballpark had the pitcher in Red Sox gear...Mandy and I couldn't resist.
We hit some balls in the batting cages, went on a tour of the factory, and watched the speed of actual professional pitches...it was a fun time.
When not at the museum, our booth, or working we spent the rest of the time on 4th Street
Mandy and I with two of the ATO consultants
the BUCKET our drink came in
some dancing with Rick, one of the ATO consultants
us with ATO #2- Arnie
some bull riding...
Mandy and the Oklahoma State guys
and then the Oklahoma State guy...
glad this guy is getting paid for security!
Then it was time for the final banquet. But before the banquet Justin took us to a cool bar on the top floor of one of the other hotels. The bar was amazing...the hotel...

pretty impressive as well (really could they not make them a new sign?!)

however the BEST part about the bar was our mulleted frienddon't worry...we took a few pics (you may need to click on them for the big pic to get the full experience)and one more...why not?!

Then the banquet started...All of the girls in the room (all 5 of us) received roses from the ATO guys while the ATO choir sang us a song...it was pretty funny. and the staff plus GreekBill afterward in the suite

And a few pics of Mandy and I keep in mind we did not have cameras this whole time...we were good at hyjacking others!
we don't know what she is doing either!
