In
the morning we went to the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory
Tour. The kids are not in to baseball yet so the history of the
players was lost on them but we all enjoyed seeing how the bats are
made. I am no longer a big baseball fan myself but it was cool to
see all the old names I knew. Afterward we stopped at Homemade Ice
Cream and Pie Kitchen again to get something to go and then hit the
road.
We
drove to Mammoth Cave National Park and took the Historic Cave Tour.
This was the kid's first time in a cave and they seemed to enjoy the
experience. Cole also found the elusive Rhode Island license plate
that finally let us complete the 50 states license plate game we have
been playing since the very beginning.
Behind
schedule, we got back on the road. Along the way stopped at White
Castle, a place we had never eaten before. Later we stopped in
Corbin, Kentucky to see the location of the first KFC. We jumped on
the Cumberland Gap Parkway and drove to our final destination of the
night in Middlesboro, Kentucky.
Once
again we did not experience any rain but it seemed like everywhere we
went it had just rained. Our luck has been bizarre on this trip and
we are glad for it.
The
reality that our trip is almost complete has made us all a little sad
this evening. As difficult as traveling for this long can be, it has
been very rewarding. We have even considered bypassing home to spend
tomorrow night at the beach just so we can say we went coast to coast
but it does not look like the weather forecast will support it.
Tomorrow we will be homeward bound.
