By the end of the safari tour we had food spilled everywhere, and snot and other animal fluids on our windows! It was an experience to be had and afterwards Jonah declared it the best road trip we have ever taken.....so of course worth all the slime I had to endure from those creatures.
Afterwards we made our way to the caverns which were cool, but not even close to the advertised "most incredible caverns on the East Coast". We saw some neat stalagmites and stalactites and made three stops on our 40 minute tour that allowed us this photo:
The boys were excited to spend their money on souvenirs in the gift shop and came away with some great fossils and other little rocks. We then made our way to the Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park to see some old friends from our University Park days. The boys wasted no time joining in with the "bubble jump" at the play area and I got to hold one of their new twins (Kincade) and catch up with Corinne while Jared and Clint swapped their own happenings. It was great to see them all and see how awesome Corinne was at managing the lives of 3 big people and two very small ones.
The night ended with our first trip to Ruby Tuesday which was funny for me because I use them in my class discussion on eating out. I tried to stay neutral to the fried shrimp and onion rings and hamburgers with cheese and bacon with fires so as to not spoil the evening with calorie counts and saturated fat content, but holy smokes it was hard. Good thing I was tired by then and out of mental energy to convince them of better choices which I don't think they would have been happy with me for attempting. I did manage to get them to eat their sides of broccoli with no complaint. I had the salad bar and fish tacos thank you very much :)
