Mt. Vernon, IL – Grayson, KY
We hadn’t planned on stopping anywhere special today. But as we were driving, my mom pointed out the road signs advertising the Marengo Caves, and we thought, heck, why not take a peek.
So, after driving through some adorable towns in IL, we found the caves and put on our tennis shoes. The tour was truly amazing. Just to think that the stalactites and stalagmites grow only 1 inch every 100 years, wow! 
Walking on underground trails 
I had to steal the “welcome to Indiana” sign from online. I couldn’t get to my camera fast enough…. it was traumatic!
The state of Kentucky is beautiful, fyi.
Oh, and their Carl’s Jr. (called Hardees) doesn’t have the Famous Star… very disappointing to Shawn.
And we hit a horrible storm. Luckily Shawn was driving… I couldn’t see a thing out the window. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much lightning in my entire life. It was terrifying! I am so thankful that we’ve made it this far without any car troubles (with the exception of the new tire we had to buy), or accidents. Only one more big driving day, hooray!

I have LOVED LOVED LOVED reading through your days of travel. Such a great idea...I'm sure you'll look back and be glad you documented it all.
I'm sure you're very excited to get to NC. I am dying to see pictures of everything. I've heard it's beautiful.
Miss you all.
I thought for sure you wouldnt be posting in a while, so I hadnt even checked yet. I can't believe you have had time to do this! You are so cool! I would like to copy, but I know for sure I am too lazy. I will want to go right to bed every night:) Glad you are making the most of your trip and are safe and happy!
