We got up and left the house by 6am on July 4 and headed to Kentucky for a few days.
Picnic lunch at a rest area
After a 9 hour drive we made it to our little cabin!
Dylan making his bed.
Michael and I had a separate bedroom.
Relaxing on the porch in the log rocking chairs
Cass just chillin' out!
Thursday night we ate catfish at the Porky Pig Diner in Pig, Kentucky.
Friday morning Michael cooked bacon and eggs for us.
Yummy breakfast on the porch.
Then off to Mammoth Cave National Park to go on a cave tour.
Waterfall on our walk to the cave
Friday night we played BINGO and Michael and Dylan were both one number off from winning $80.
Saturday we went to Abraham Lincoln's Birthplace and this memorial is on top of where he was born.
Dylan volunteered to count the steps.
Ranger Ben gave Dylan a honorary ranger badge for counting the steps. There were 56 steps, one for each year of Lincoln's life.
This memorial was built 6 years before the Lincoln Memorial was built in Washington, D.C.
This is called the sinking springs. This is where the Lincoln family got their water.
My favorite part of our mini vacation was a tour of Maker's Mark Distillery.
Fermentation!! We got to stick our finger in this and try it!
The label before it is put on the bottle.
Taste testing!!
Then I got to dip my own bottle of Maker's Mark in the famous red wax.
Dipping my bottle
I do not think they will be hiring me to be the hand dipper of the bottles.
Saturday night Dylan was finally able to go down the water slide at the campground.
Dylan entered a watermelon eating contest.
He tied for first in his age group!!
I enjoyed some delicious Kentucky bourbon balls on our last evening in Kentucky!!
Cass and Michael went zip lining but there are no pictures.
What a great trip to Kentucky!!
