Family Vacations
Kentucky resides in the east central part of the United States geographically, but is often considered a southern state culturally. Kentucky is technically a commonwealth meaning that it has a government that is based on the common consent of its citizens. There are three other states that designate themselves with this name: Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Kentucky is known as the “Bluegrass State,” not because bluegrass bands frequent the state but because of the grass that is grown on lawns and pastures. The state is abundant with many different options for a young or old family including beautiful caves, lakes, and wildlife that can be seen throughout.
