We left North Carolina on Saturday and drove 8 Hours to Bowling Green, Kentucky. Where we stopped on Saturday night to go through the Corvette Museum. The cars were amazing and what awesome colors, even purple, that would be my choice. HAH!
We stayed over night at a little place called Kentucky Down Under. Sunday morning we woke bright and early to head off to the cave's of Kentucky. Our first stop was at the Diamond Caverns, it is a wet cave and there fore it has the stalagmites and stalactites. We walked about a mile for this tour and it was incredible. After we went panning for gold, the kids thought that was cool and got some pretty impressive rocks to keep. At lunch we headed on towards the Mammoth National Forest, to hit he Mammoth Caves. They are over 300 miles of know cave routes and the largest in the world.
We were set to hit the 2:00 Historic tour and Avery was quite nervous, it was said to be 2 miles, 2 hours and over 400 stairs to climb. The history in this cave system is amazing, it was used at one time for mining salt-petre, for gun powder. It is truly a Mammoth Cave and we loved every minute of it. Oakly wanted to go caving and get down and dirty.
We arrived in St. Louis last night and are on our way to start our day. We have a lot of picture's to take and things to see!
