15th state to be added to the Union: Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p><strong>State:<\/strong> Kentucky<br \/>\n<strong>Joined the Union:<\/strong> 1792<br \/>\n<strong>Visits:<\/strong> 7<\/p>\n<p>Aside from driving through on my way to Florida, I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;ve made seven distinct trips to Kentucky, although nearly all of them had nothing to do with Kentucky.\u00a0 My first six stops came as part of trips to Ohio, specifically the town of Cincinnati.\u00a0 The current home of the Reds, Great American Ballpark, is right on the Ohio River, which forms the border between Ohio and Kentucky.\u00a0 When visiting my old friend Scott and attending a Reds game, we would drive over the bridge and find free street parking on the Kentucky side, walking across a pedestrian bridge to get to the park.\u00a0 This trip occurred annually from 2003 through 2008.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19544\"

better than eating at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in the great state of Kentucky.\u00a0 And so we did.<\/p>\n<p>Will I return?\u00a0 Who can tell.\u00a0 It has been 14 years since my last game at the Great American Ballpark and, frankly, I wouldn&#8217;t be able to do the walk now even if I wanted to.\u00a0 Aside from that, there isn&#8217;t much driving me down to Kentucky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over my 48 years, I\u2019ve done my fair share of travelling across these United States.\u00a0 I thought it would be an interesting
