We took our first family trip in the minivan over spring break to see the Mammoth Cave and the Great Smoky Mountains. We had a great time - we'll definitely be making that trip again someday.
Our first stop was in Louisville - we spent the night downtown and visited the Louisville Slugger museum and factory. We also had a drink at the Louisville Bats ballpark (minor league) and ate dinner at a really good BBQ restaurant (the name escapes me at the moment).

| Pork rinds, bacon, and ice cream? Why not? |
 |
| One of Weston's favorite things to do was sit next to the window in the Louisville Hotel |
Next stop was Mammoth Cave the following morning. The boys did really well in the cave - we were worried they might freak out a little bit, but they were good little spelunkers.
After Mammoth Cave, we drove straight to our cabin in the Smokies - it was a long day, but well worth the drive.

| Weston was obsessed with having a picnic, so we found a nice quiet spot on the west side of the smokies, picked up some local BBQ and had a picnic! |

| Scratch North Carolina off our lists! |
 |
| We also hiked the Appalachian Trail....for about 2 steps. |

| Naked Donkey Kong anyone? |

| Luke's journal of the trip - the boys each have a National Park Passport booklet - we have a goal to get to as many parks as we can |
Wonderful pictures. What a fabulous trip! So much fun for all of you.
