This morning we begin our Christmas journey to French Lick, Indiana. Travel through the Blue Ridge Mountains en route to Lexington, KY —Horse Capital of the World—for an overnight stay. We enjoy an included dinner together and an evening of Americana music at Woodsongs Old- Time Radio Hour. Celebrating the music of America’s front porches, folksinger Michael Johnathon’s Woodsongs is a live audience show filled with grassroots music and the artists who make it. (D)

Traveling into Indiana, we stop to see Dr. Ted’s Musical Marvels, a fabulous collection of mechanical musical instruments. Next, we visit the Sisters of St. Benedict at the Monastery of Immaculate Conception, where we learn about the ministries, see the beautiful grounds and visit the gift shop. Nestled among the hills of the Hoosier National Forest resides our final destination, French Lick Resort. We check in the Resort for the night and an included dinner. (D)

After a full breakfast, you’ll have free time to explore the resort on your own with shopping, bowling or explore the French Lick Casino. We travel to West Baden, stopping for a visit at the French Lick Winery, where we can view the production area through large glass windows that line one wall. We travel to Louisville and check into our hotel, before heading out this evening for a buffet dinner and a heartwarming holiday classic, “A Christmas Story” at the Derby Dinner Theatre. (B, D)

Depart for home with fond memories and Christmas cheer, stopping at Buc-ee’s for snacks and shopping along the way.
