Hiking and Caving in Kentucky

Corey and I celebrated out 10th anniversary on the 24th. We decided to hit the road for a few day just the two of us. We headed to Kentucky with no plans only a few places in mind. We headed to Cumberland Falls first. We did some hiking there and found some great waterfalls. This was totally different hiking for me under rocks, over rivers on stones, and no paths to follow. It was a great to see such beautiful country. I was so scared that we would see a bear since there where signs all around warning about them, but thank goodness we did not see any. On Thursday it was raining and cold so we headed to Mammoth Cave for the day. This was so much fun. We took a two hour tour and it was great tour. It was a little tight going for a whole, but then the cave opened up a little bit. It's just so hard to believe that this cave is 8,000 to 10,000 years old it just blows my mind. On Friday we went to Lost River Cave in the morning. This was a cave that had a river in it. This cave use to be a night club way back in the day. It still had the stage and steps carved out in the cave. After the tour we hiked around there and then headed back to Mammoth Cave for the afternoon. We did some hiking in the Mammoth Cave Park. While we were hiking we seen a deer and a snake and some other cave openings. Saturday we headed up to Louisville for the day and night. We got there around 11:00 and got a hotel for the night. We went to the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory Tour. We went to a Pub for lunch and then headed back to take and nap. We walked down to the Ohio River Park this was a great park in a big city. We ate a late supper at another Pub downtown and of course had to stay until the end of the KY basketball game. We headed for Hard Rock Cafe for desserts and drinks after supper. We had a great time together and it was so nice not to be a mom for 5 days. A big THANK YOU goes out to both grandparents for watching our girls while we were gone. Only one mishap while we were gone so not so bad. It was great talking to the girls every night - well Brooke at least Kenzie didn't want to talk to me. Kenzie would always say to me "May I please talk to dad" boy I feel the love. 10 years ago I would have never imagine that we would have 3 girls and everything else that we have done together. Sorry picture over load, but there are so many cool pictures.
