Running Away

On 8.7.11 we decided to run away for the day and go see a part of Kentucky we have heard about but had not gone to see. We ran away to Mammoth Cave. It's the worlds largest cave system with over 390 miles explored! The amazing thing is due to the caverns constant temperature and humidity and by nitre salt in the soil they found 2,000 year old artifacts left by Native Americans and mummies that naturally died and were naturally mummified. We went on the shortest tour they had which barely took us into the first part of the cave but we felt that with me being pregnant a shorter tour would be best. Here are just a few pictures we took from our escape!

We were going to take pictures inside the cave but we decided not to this time, we didn't feel like being blinded by the flash in the dark cave.

We had so much fun and definately plan on going back to explore after we have our Nadya. There is so much more of the cave to see. The tour we took only went in 3/4 of a mile. Even tho we didn't get to see much, it was wonderful to get away and have a change of scenery. We look forward to going back!
