Road Trip Days 5-6

Yesterday was a fun day.  We left Louisville in the morning after finding a weird little bakery where we had some delicious breakfast.  I had poacked eggs and proscuttio and dave had some sort of breakfast sandwich.  Really good food, not so good coffee.  We headed to the Mammoth Cave National Park, about an hour and a half away and spent all day there.  We went on two tours of the caves, one 2 hour one going through the big dry caverns and passageways, with all the history and stuff of the war of 1812 and such, and then one hour and 15 minute one through a wet part of the caves with cool formations and weird bugs and such.  It was really cool and worth the drive out to it.  After that we headed past Nashville and stopped in Dickson, TN for the night.

Today we spent most of the day driving.  We drove through Memphis and then to Little Rock, where we stopped at a brewery for a little sample, and then tried to find a hotel but there was a marathon and a concert or something so we couldn't get a hotel, so we drove more west and stopped in Benton, AR and got a room to relax in for the rest of the night.  It's a "takin'-it-easy" kind of day :)
