Day 6: Home

There is hardly anything to report, but it felt weird not formally wapping up this little trip. The drive from Louisville to home was only about four and a half hours and completely unremarkable. We listened to a week worth of The Daily, played a ton of Mario Kart, read a bit, and let the […]

Day 5: Bourbon Day

15 years ago, when I was the mere age of 21, we got married. We we’re so very young, but it was so the right decision for us. The best part of our marriage is that we’ve allowed one another to grow as individuals, but have continuously grown stronger as a couple. I think that’s […]

Day 4: Mammoth Cave

Today was spectacular. Honestly, I wasn’t really looking forward to it. We were just in Lehman Caves last month and did Timpanogos Cave last year. I thought we were caved out. I figured that once you have seen a cave, you have kind of seen all caves. I was so proven wrong today. I was […]

Day 3: Stone’s River Battlefield

Zak and I both have vivid memories of our parents taking us to Civil War battlefields as youngsters. We both recall hating it and not seeing the point of staring at an empty open field. We both remember being grumpy and not pleasant to be around during these family excursions. So, we made the compassionate […]

Day 2: Nashville

Country music, fried chicken, and swimming. That pretty much sums up the day. Our first stop on our exploring Nashville day was Biscuit Love. We found this on one of the internet’s lists of top things you must do in Nashville. It did not disappoint. Zak and I each had the number one sandwich in […]
