Spring Break-Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum

 I am so glad that we did this.  At first it wasn't really on my schedule because we aren't really baseball players, but I am so glad we did.  It was fascinating!  The huge bat didn't hurt anything either.

 They had different things from teams around the country and the boys were pretty excited that Georgia Tech was one of them.  Apparently they are pretty good at baseball.

 The workers who worked here were just awesome.  They were genuinely excited to show the boys everything there.  The boys had to put on gloves, but then they got to hold one of these cool bats that were actually used by famous players.  Our family likes the Yankees so everyone held Micky Mantle and Derek Jeter's bats.

Josh was pretty to hold Mickey Mantle's bat.

 Derek Jeter's bat he actually used.

 The boys could throw a ball at this virtual pitcher and it would say how fast it went.

 Josh got his going pretty fast.

 One of our only family pictures.  At least we got one!

 Art with bats.

 We loved seeing the factory, but we couldn't take any pictures.  They were actually making some big deal baseball player's bats while we were there.  There was a baseball tournament in town when we went and lots of teams came here.  They were all pretty star struck.

 We all got a mini bat.  They boys thought that was awesome.

 Joe DiMaggio's bat

 Josh was able to tell the boys a lot about the stuff here.

 Babe Ruth's bat.  I was pretty impressed with that.

They had a few fields and some players made out of Legos.  It was pretty impressive!

Spring Break-Churchill Downs

 I've wanted to go to Churchill Downs forever, but I wanted to actually be at the Kentucky Derby when I went.  Josh and I were planning on going this year, but then we bought a house...Oh well.  We will get there some time.  It was fun to see where the Derby takes place.

 When we walked up to this place McKay said "are we going get dressed up and ride horses?"  It is so funny the things McKay thinks.  I think all these boys would rather do that then just take a picture!

This facility is gorgeous!

Spring Break-Mammoth Cave, Kentucky

 We didn't have too much time to do a big trip for spring break since Josh doesn't have too much vacation time at his new job.  To be honest, I like the short jam packed trips.  On the way to Louisville, we stopped at Mammoth caves. 

 I have to be honest, I didn't have too high of hopes for Mammoth cave.  I hadn't really read much about it and just thought it would be a fun side trip.  I was definitely pleasantly surprised.  

 The cave was huge (I guess hence the name "Mammoth"), we have done quite a few caves, but all of them have been extremely narrow (a little claustrophobic).  These were the complete opposite.  Wide and huge!

 You can't really tell, but the ceiling is very tall and it is so side in there!

 Josh was cute to make sure I got in some pictures.  I don't seem to ever be in any of our pictures.

 Can you see how big that is??

 I love these boys.  This was one of our better trips.  Usually they are so wild I spend the whole time telling them to chill out.  They were great on this trip!  They are growing up :)

It was a beautiful day and a perfect way to kick off our trip!
