Day-cation: Outlaw Cavern

Casey had a three day weekend for Father's Day so we spent our Friday in Cave City.  I was a little worried about going on a tour of Mammoth Cave simply because my hip and long walks do not get along.  So, I consulted my friend Google and was surprised to find there are several cave options in Cave City.  Go figure.  We settled on Outlaw Caverns.  There were a couple things I liked about it.  First, it was 45-minutes, second it was five bucks.  It turned out to be $6.95, but active-duty military and children under 5 (I think it was under 5) could take the tour for FREE!  So, for a whopping $6.95 we loaded the bus and headed to the cave.  We were the only tourists so our tour was pretty short, which worked out really well because Patty wasn't at all interested in the cave.  JT, on the other hand, really loved it.  I was happy to see that some of my pictures turned out pretty good, too.  I really like the one on the far left.  I really like the one on the far right, too!

Day-cation: Dinosaur World

We spent the second half of our Day-cation at Dinosaur World.  It was a big hit with everyone.  The kids got to dig for fossils and even bring a few home.  In spite of the June heat, it was completely bearable along the shady paths, that was a big hit for me!  Patty is a huge fan of zoos, and this was the next best thing.  That second picture from the left is of the trash cans.  This place really stuck to the dino theme!  If you are looking for dinosaur stuff, the gift shop was loaded down.  And they had one of those penny smash machines.  I'm a big fan of those things, too!  Dino World wasn't quite as cost effective as our cave tour, but it was well worth it.  I kind of wish we had avoided the gift shop, though!
