When they found out we were moving, Joe's parents offered to haul a trailer full of our stuff and combine our move with their 25th anniversary trip. Instead of getting up here as fast as we could, we decided to make 4 day trip of it and see some sights along the way
This picture was one of the last taken before we left Dallas. Joe's family threw us two goodbye parties-this one was at Tim and Susie Corbett's house.
The second day of the trip we stopped at Mammoth Cave in south central Kentucky and took a two- hour historical walking tour. The cave is a dry cave, so we didn't see any stalactites or stalagmites. We learned a lot about the work and exploration of slaves in Mammoth Cave, as well as the mining of Salt Peter here, which was used in the War of 1812.

The third day, we went to AiG in Petersburg, Kentucky, and spent several hours touring the museum, gardens, planetarium and petting zoo. The artwork and exhibits were impressive--it was definitely worth the stop!

| The dinosaurs were so friendly. |

AiG has some beautiful gardens on the grounds, with a
wide variety of plants and flowers. |

I had such a fun time with you both. You have beautiful pictures of the trip. I will have to see the rest one day.
