Even though it may sound creepy to visit a cemetery, the lakes, flowers and blooming trees are beautiful. Best time is spring when the ancient cherry trees are abloom -- much like the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC. Also statesman Henry Clay is buried here, along with many other famous Kentuckians.

It is unfortunate that there have been a few times in my life when I had to visit the cemetery. But the times I've gone there out of choice have been very rewarding.
