4th of July in Kentucky

 One of my favorite memories growing up was that of being in Campbellsville for the 4th of July.  I looked forward to that particular day every year.  There was always something about seeing my town filled with lots of people, enjoying the festivities and having a great time.  The balloons were always my favorite and I didn't mind getting up EXTREMELY early to be able to see them lift off.

Since moving to Maryland we haven't had the chance to go back and enjoy the 4th in Campbellsville.  This year -- since it was on a Friday, we took a few extra days and made the trip.  The weather was absolutely perfect, the balloons got to fly and there was a lot of people in town!  I couldn't have asked for a more perfect 4th of July!

We didn't get up to go to the balloon race on Friday morning, but the balloons decided to come to us!  They flew over my parents house that morning and we got to enjoy them anyway!  We also didn't go to the city lake that night to watch them pass over (the girls were having too much fun in the back yard) but 1 of the balloons decided to land in the parking lot right behind my parents!  

This trip truly did bring back so many memories for me when I was a child -- and still loved every minute of being able to enjoy a hometown 4th of July.
