Spontaneous

I am not known for my spontaneity. I am a planner. It is in my nature. It's something I'm good at. However, last weekend I decided to make a suggestion of something our family could do together that I would normally plan in advance to do. So, we decided to take a road trip to...

Yep...all the way to Mammoth Cave! To prove we were all there, I'll post this picture (even though Brad's eyes are closed and it's not a very good shot...)


The cave was pretty cool (no pun intended). It's always 54 degrees, year round, no matter what the temps are outside. We did the Discovery Tour because it was cheap ($4/person - excluding Jacob) and because it was short (approximately 1/2 hour). The other tour that day was $12/person and would've lasted about 2 hours. I didn't think Jacob was up for that. This picture inside the cave proves my point.
Obviously, the lighting in the cave isn't very good and unfortunately, my batteries were running low. But, that's the cave behind Brad and Jacob. Also, there are some old tools and things inside the cave that have been there since the War of 1812 and are very well preserved because at 54 degrees, not much bacteria and things grow inside the cave, so things stay well preserved. This is an area where slaves worked about 12 hour shifts cleaning dirt for gun powder during the War of 1812 (or something like that). It was all very interesting.

It was a fun road trip and a neat place to take any visitors that may want to see the World's Largest Cave! We had fun on our spontaneous adventure!
