Had a great weekend in Louisville!
Figured I'd post a follow-up for all you folks who were kind enough to provide input.
What I didn't know when we planned the weekend is that my brother was required to stay within 50 miles of Ft. Knox. That limited where we could go somewhat. We would have loved to have gone to Mammouth Caverns, but it was outside the travel range.
We spent Friday night at the Galt House and Saturday night at the Hyatt Regency... used Priceline to get the Galt House for $50/night and the Hyatt for $60/night. The Galt House was somewhat of a disappointment... lukewarm breakfast buffet, most sagging rollaway bed I've seen in my life, and then there was the evacuation due to the fire, but that's a whole 'nother story. ;-) Still loved hanging out and having drinks in the beautiful Conservatory. On Friday (St. Patrick's Day), we ate and drank (and drank some more) in Sully's Pub and then listened to and watched an Irish pipe and drum group in the 4th Street Live complex on Friday night, then went back to the Conservatory for more drinks.
Saturday we visited the Frazier Historic Arms Museum (very impressive!), the gift shop at the Louisville Slugger Factory (didn't take the tour), and went to see the IMAX movie on the Nile at the Science Center. Then we took the big Trolley Tour loop around town, went to the Old Spagetti Factory for dinner, then watched a movie back at the Hyatt. The Hyatt was VERY nice!
All in all, a good time was had by all. Thanks very much to all of you for your help!
Never did get to Skyline, though... sigh....
