Home from our Trip....

We took a short two night trip and now we are home. I'll post pictures as soon as I get a chance to sort through them, but here is an idea of what we've been up to....

We thought about the aquarium and all of the neat stuff they have in Chattanooga, TN but that is a 4 hour drive each way so we decided to do Cave City, KY since it is just an hour trip. We ate at a place in Bowling Green called Double Dogs, the boys loved it. They bring your food in dog bowls- for 4 year olds that was cool.

We got to the hotel and then went to Dinosaur World, swam in the indoor pool and rode the go carts across the street. Honestly we could have just done the swimming and go carts and they would have been happy! The next day we went to Kentucky Down Under and they got to pat kangaroos, feed baby sheep with a bottle, birds, etc. we went on a cave tour. It was a beautiful place. We swam and rode the go carts again that night too. They loved staying in the hotel- the hotentel as they call it.

We came back home on Wed. so they could go to Awana at church and on the way home we came back through Bowling Green and went to the National Corvette Museum which they loved! There was a woman there picking up her atomic orange convertible corvette and she let them sit in it so they had a ball! Then we went to this dairy farm where they have a restaurant and they make homemade ice cream- toasted coconut ice cream was sooooo good!

They were fussing in the car asking if we were there yet on the hour trip- actually the half hour until we had lunch, then the half hour after lunch until we got to the hotel! Definitely makes me rethink the trip to Florida to visit relatives we had been thinking about!!!!! We had the dvd player going too- how sad is that?! lol!

I'll add pictures as soon as I get a chance but wanted to check in and let everyone know why we've been out of touch for a few days.

I can't wait to see pictures. I bet they had so much fun! It sounds like a great trip, we may have to look at going there this summer. I don't think my kids can handle a long car trip this summer or actually I can't handle them on a long car trip! :)

Maybe we can get together at the end of this week. How does Friday look for you?
