April 5th & 6th - David and I went to Land Between the Lakes (LBTL) for our babymoon; our last trip before our bundle of joy arrives. I don't understand the whole babymoon term. A honeymoon comes after the wedding but a babymoon comes before the baby. Oh well, that did not stop us from having one. We left Saturday morning from the Big Grandparents and drove an hour to Kentucky. It was a great day for a drive and the drive was really pretty. Our first stop was the visitor’s center where we learned all about the creation of LBTL. Our second stop was the Elk & Bison Prairie. We drove around looking for Elk & Bison. We saw dozens of Elk and 3 Bison up close and personal. We then headed down the trace to the Homeplace, an old village. It was really neat to see how the settlers lived. I don't think I could live without central heat or air, but that is just me. After the Homeplace we drove up the rest of the trace looking for a place to spend the night. We found a hotel in Kuttawa, KY and just spent the evening relaxing, eating and watching the NCAA tourney.
On Sunday, we tried to go hiking on a short trail. After spending 15 minutes trying to find the trail we saw the hill you had to go up and decided against it, there was no way baby and I could make it up that hill. We went down the street and visited the Castle on the Cumberland, which is the KY State Penitentiary which houses only death row inmates. It is one scary looking place; I hope never to visit it. We ended our trip with a visit to Patti's settlement, a settlement of animals, miniature golf and great desserts. All in all we had a great time even though we couldn't do too much since I could not venture to far from a bathroom. It was a relaxing weekend and it was nice to be away and just spend time with each other before the fun chaos begins.
