We're Off!

It was an early start this morning as we started on our adventure to the South. Here are the girls first thing in the morning. We left at 5:45 am and then we left again at 6:45 am. Let's just say one of us forgot something.

Girls ready to go

We crossed over the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit around 10:15 am, no wait, no questions, other than how many people and where we were going. Other than the contruction on the I-75 right after we crossed the bridge (we detoured through Mexicantown), the other construction wasn't too bad. I drove the first leg and Susan drove the rest. Here we are passing Cincinnati.

After three states and one time zone change we finished our day in Cave City, Kentucky. The girls wanted to have some genuine KFC in Kentucky for dinner. After dinner the girls had a swim in the outdoor pool. Tomorrow we have a full day at Mammoth Caves National Park. Looking forward to it and will update tomorrow night.
