help! coming to visit from the UK!!!

am asking for a friend who is travelling with his family from the UK. They are spending sometime in the washington DC area and doing the historical tour, then heading to Williamsburg Va. From That point they have 3 nights to drive to Cincinatti, where they will fly home. They want to get off the beaten path and see some cool sights and maybe see bluegrass, nature, country, etc. not really the theme parks as they have already done those. they have two girls, approx 9 and 12? Does anyone have a suggestion driving from Williamsburg to Cincinatti and where to stop along the way???? I would mch appreciate your help!!!

Lexington and the Bluegrass Region is about an hour drive South of Cincinnati. Here are some things to do:

-Shaker Village in Harrodsburg (less than an hour Southwest Lexington). It is America%26#39;s largest restored Shaker community and you can tour restored Shaker buildings, ride the Dixie Belle Riverboat down the Kentucky River, dine in the Trustee%26#39;s Office (reservations required) and more (www.shakervillageky.org).

-Mary Todd Lincoln House, Waveland State Historic Site, Hunt-Morgan House and Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate are four historic homes in Lexington offering regular tours. In our office at the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau, we offer tickets to the four homes for $15 (it costs $7 per home if you pay for each one individually).

-Keeneland Race Course is a historic landmark open to the public everyday from 6:30am to 5pm. There is live racing in April and October. You can eat at the Track Kitchen and tour the grounds.

-Kentucky Horse Park is Lexington%26#39;s premiere attraction. There are museums (International Museum of the Horse and American Saddlebred Museum), galleries and exhibits (such as the Parade of Breeds). On September 25-October 10, 2010, the Ky. Horse Park will be host of the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, the world championships for eight equestrian sports. The new outdoor stadium just hosted its%26#39; first event, the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, and the new indoor arena is nearing completion (www.kyhorsepark.com).

-There are many horse farms around the area. You can take a daily van tour or private guided tour. For more information, go to www.visitlex.com/idea/horse-farms.php

These are just some of the many things to do in the Bluegrass Region. You can go to www.visitlex.com if you want more ideas or call (800) 845-3959 and we can help you with any questions you may have.
