Horse Cave, KY

We had a great time w/ the Shanklins & Horse Cave & Cave City & around the Mammoth Cave area Fri/Sat. Yes, Russell & I camped and did not die. Although, I believe we began to wonder if the tent could potentially have a fire in the center of it and be okay ;)

Russell & I drove around here for a couple VERY late hours Friday night trying to find an open camp site. We found two that were reportedly (according to the website) open. But, what would you expect on a REALLY cold night? Closed :) That's to help ward of insane people from thinking that they can camp. =) Other places like the friendly local KOA however didn't force common sense upon us. Yay for KOA! :) So, we didn't freeze, we had a blast, and we lived ;)


Today we sorta woke up some, froze some more and decided to join the wives & kids @ the Hamptonn Inn for some FREE hot breakfast. I'm sure we did not look like the other well-rested hotel customers, but it sure felt good to be warm and well fed. ;) Back out to find our picture spot (entrance above) and then to get some $1 swim trunks on clearance from WMT to go HOT TUBBIN' @ the hotel! YAY AGAIN!

Noah joined us in the very warm pool and again enjoyed swimming! 2nd time swimming within a week. wow. Go Noah! He still loves it and splashes around a TON! SO much fun! Eventually, Carrie & Clara & Andrea & Noah went on a cave tour (I know, leave it to them to go spelunking while Russell & I recover from freezing our butts off) :) Ahh well, we had a blast and sure enjoyed the company! =)
