The weather had prevented me from visiting my family in Indiana. I was sad as I am not sure when I get to go back. On Saturday evening I spent the night at my daughter’s home and awoke Sunday morning to 2 surprises.
One was an Easter basket with my 2 favorite pieces; Cadbury egg and Reese peanut butter egg. Yummy was my thought. The second surprise was finding out we were going to Mammoth Cave.
I had never been there. Mammoth Cave is an hour from my house. We ate lunch at Cracker Barrel. While waiting for our table; I saw the most adorable little girl with her family.
- 800 Happy Valley St, Cave City, KY 42127Cross Streets: Between Sanders St/Gardner Ln and Mammoth Cave Rd/Mammoth Cave St/Doyle Ave
- (270) 773-4723
We then drove through a small part of Mammoth Cave. I was amazed at how huge it is and that we barely saw any of it. I didn’t have the opportunity to go into any caves due to the extreme wetness from the big rains.
I took a lot of photos, as you knew I would. On the way home we stopped at Gondolier Italian restaurant and had dessert and coffee.
After asking for doggy bags for the enormous pieces we received, we headed home. Here are photos I thought worthy of showing you.
Who I am 
Aw, she is adorable and cute dress. The pictures were nice, a country road or roads mind you. A feeling of peace and tranquility.

I love cracker barrel. If you don’t live that far from Mammoth Cave, I wonder how close we live to each other?

Have been to Mammoth Cave several times…field trips when in Elementary School…groups of kids when I worked in the Public School System…Always a treat!…The caves are beautiful and a bit scary for me…”Don’t turn out the lights!”…Glad you had such a great day…Your daughter sounds like a gem!
