Vacation conclusion...

Thursday morning we headed to Bowling Green Kentucky. It was about 4 hours away. We ran into some pretty heavy rain on the way, but by the time we got to Mammoth Caves it was sunny and steamy. Mammoth Caves are the largest in the US. 300+ miles have been mapped so far. It took us 2 hours to do 2 miles. And our guide really only stopped a couple times. It was fascinating. I didn't know that there was a difference between wet caves and dry caves. Wet caves have decor...you know, stalactites and stalagmites and other fancy formations. Dry caves are just rocky. The history of these caves is very interesting. Lots of people would NOT like this tour though. There were some very tight spaces and super low spots. We liked it though, it was kind of an adventure!



After all that, we just went and checked into our hotel and pooped out. Until the tornado warning that is...
This was a doozey of a storm and it lasted for hours! The tornado warning was only about 20 minutes though. Whew.

Everything was bright and sunny the next morning. We went downstairs and had breakfast, checked out and drove across the street to the National Corvette Museum. I'm sorry I don't have a real appreciation for cars but here are some pictures :-)

This was just a concept car, but it looked cool,

This was his fav. I like the sting ray body style best too,

This is just like the one he had when he was a young man,

We were only there a couple hours. Then we headed home. We pulled in the driveway about 3:00 and boy were the girls excited to see us! We even got the little "hurry up and pet me" howl from Pepper. She does that a lot though :-) It's funny as hell.


We pretty much just lazed around all weekend. We were both suffering from vacation hangovers.

Now we're back to work, trying to catch up. Mom's bee day is Friday and Father's Day is Sunday. We aren't going to do anything though. Stay in, watch a movie, take Mom out for Chineese. It'll be a nice weekend.
