Kentucky Trip

  

 

It's that time of year for our
annual MEA trip with the Hannans!

 Our 2013 destination:

the Red River Gorge in Kentucky.

Sara was a perfect little traveler!
She only fussed when she was due for a bottle.
Otherwise she played or napped.

 

Matt packed up the car.
We were able to pack all of Sara's essentials
(and even a few nice-to-have's).

Thank goodness we bought the Enclave!


 

 

 

 

We usually camp but this year we rented a cabin.
Thank goodness we did,
our trip was mostly rainy and chilly!


The gorge is a popular climber's destination.
There were many arches and short hikes.
Perfect for hiking with a tiny human.

Sara experienced her first chairlift ride.

She did great in the Ergo.

 

 

We stopped at Miguels for pizza lunch (highly recommended).

Miguel's is a popular stop and campsite for climbers.

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

On our rainy days, we had just as much fun!

 

We enjoyed...

Clue

tic tac toe cribbage

naps

shooting

eating

and visiting.

 

 

Our view of the river (and Brent) from our cabin.

 

 

Uncle Brent

 

 

A few intense games of Clue.
Brent (the rule follower) read the directions
at least a dozen times
to make sure we were playing correctly.
