Got to Lexington and more snow. Waited at the airport until midnight for Allison to come in, then drove through the snow to the hotel. Then sleep. When we got up the snow had stopped but we had a good bit on the car to brush off.
Visted for most of the day. Dad had heard of a winery, which is a house where my great-grandmother lived when she was dating my great-grandfather. We decided to go have a look and dinner. It is Jean Ferris Winery and the building is lovely. We were very early so we could have a look around and sat and had various tastings. Very good wine. My great aunt had a photo of the house from 1910 and showed it to the staff, who then got a copy for the owner. Then we had dinner. Wonderful meal and lots of food. Highly recommended.
After dinner drove to the Kentucky Horse Park for their annual Christmas lights. You drive through the park looking at Christmas lights – quite fun and very popular.
Now we’re back ready to sleep!

Very sleepy in Houston waiting to fly to Lexington. Flight left about an hour late, but we made it here in plenty of time to get our bags sorted and sit for ages waiting for another flight. Going to be an even longer day as we’ll wait in Lexington to pick up my sister. Will sleep well when we finally get to the hotel! And of course poor Joe has a cold.

Waiting for the flight. Probably delayed. Most likely delayed as it’s suppose to go at 10.05 and we’re not even thinking about boarding! Oh well.
Up far too early, here in plenty of time for the utter chaos that BA consider fast bag drop. None of the boards giving proper information, crowds of people milling about and joining queues just to be in a queue. Joe got us to the front and bags dropped in good time though. We then had a lovely breakfast in Gordon Ramsey branded restuarant. Now just sitting and waiting.
And who thinks wearing a bottle of scent before getting on a plane is a good idea? Obviously the woman sitting behind me. It will be a long flight.

Watching it snow. Hoping it doesn’t snow so much we can’t leave for our holiday. It’s snowing the other end of the flight as well. If we can escape that bit then we’ll have no snow. Though knowing our luck it will snow for the first time in Death Valley as soon as we arrive.
