(40)TRIP TAKEN JUNE 24, 2008
WELL, WE TOOK BACK TO BACK VACATIONS. FIRST TO ORANGE BEACH WITH OUR SON, HIS WIFE AND SWEET HEART BABY GIRL. THEN WE WERE HOME FOR A WEEK. I, ALSO, TAUGHT A CLASS AT A CHRISTIAN WOMENS RETREAT THAT FRIDAY OF THE WEEKEND IN BETWEEN THE TWO WEEKS. THEN WE TOOK OFF TO CAVE CITY. WHAT A WONDERFUL, LAID BACK, UNIQUE, VACATION THIS WAS. WELL, WE WOUND UP HAVING TO TAKE A SMOKING ROOM WITH A JACUZZI TUB. THE TUB WAS NICE AND BIG. THIS SUITE WAS PET FRIENDLY SO WE TOOK MEME AND CECE WITH US. THEY MADE THE TRIP FINE BUT THEY WERE SO HAPPY WHEN THEY GOT BACK HOME. WE WERE DISAPPOINTED WITH OUR ROOM BECAUSE IT HAD A NON SMOKING ROOM SIGN ON THE DOOR AND WE RESERVED A NON-SMOKING SUITE. WE CHECKED OUT THE OTHER COMFORT INN DOWN THE STREET BUT THEY WERE NOT PET FRIENDLY. IT WAS LIKE SLEEPING IN AN ASHTRAY. WE DID SURVIVE GLAD TO SAY. WE FIRST WENT TO THE CORVETTE MUSEUM IN BOWLING GREEN. LOVED IT! THEN TO MAMMOTH CAVE AND TOOK THE HISTORIC TOUR. IT WAS A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR WALK. IT WAS FUN BECAUSE IT WAS VERY INTERESTING. WE DID NOT THINK WE COULD TAKE OUR CAMERA. SO, WE DID NOT TAKE IT. YOU CAN TAKE A CAMERA BUT NO CASES OR BACK PACKS. WE DID GO BACK THE NEXT DAY AND GET A FEW CLIPS AND PICTURES. WE CHECKED OUT THE STATE PARK HOTEL. WE DID GET SOME INFORMATION. THE HOTEL WAS REALLY NEAT INSIDE. SORRY TO SAY THEY HAVE NO SWIMMING POOL. WE WENT TO THE GIFT SHOP. THEN, WE ATE AT THE CAFÉ INSIDE THE HOTEL. WE EVEN ATE A HOMEMADE BOLOGNA AND CHEESE SANDWICH WITH CHIPS AND DRINK. THE NEXT THING WE DID WAS TO FIND SOME SOME TRAILS. WE TOOK TWO OF THEM. IT WAS ALOT OF WALKING BUT IT WAS WORTH IT BECAUSE IT WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL. THE NEXT DAY WE WENT TO THE STABLES AND RODE HORSES. WOULD YOU BELIEVE MY BATTERIES WERE DEAD IN THE CAMERA...SO WE WENT TO THE ROOM GOT THE OTHER BATTERY PACK AND WE BACK AND TOOK SOME CLIPS AND A FEW PICTURES. THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN FOR ME. I RODE A HORSE BACK IN 1967 AND HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO RIDE AGAIN. I FINALLY GOT TO RIDE ONE MORE TIME! ANOTHER DESIRE OF MY HEART ANSWERED! THANK YOU, FATHER! THEN LATER THAT AFTERNOON, WE WENT TO GUN TOWN MOUNTAIN. WE RODE THE INCLINE UP THE MOUNTAIN. I HAD AN ICE CREAM AT THE SALOON. WE SAW A COMEDY ACT AND A CAN CAN DANCE SHOW. THEY WE NOT DRESSED DOWN AT ALL. SO, A FAMILY CAN ENJOY THE SHOW! WE DID TOO! WE SAW A STAGED GUNFIGHT, AND WATCHED A COUNTRY WESTERN GROUP PERFORM IN THE TOWN'S OPRY HOUSE. WE, ALSO, WERE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THE TOWN'S BANK, THEIR GENERAL STORE, THE JAIL, AND WALKED OVER TO THE CEMETERY. WE CHECKED OUT THEIR GIFT SHOP, TOO. THIS WAS REALLY VERY FUN. LATER, WE ATE AT THE WATER WHEEL RESTAURANT. THE FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING AND SO WERE THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED THERE! WE WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS, AGAIN. THANK YOU, LORD FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME.
