going camping (the old school way)

We are off to Carter Caves this morning. I can't wait! Two of my favorite things in a vacation: horseback riding and self-guided caves. My dear friend Krysty tells me that Mammoth Cave, also close, has horseback cave rides. Oh, what fun that will be one day.

But today and tomorrow we are off on our camping adventure to check out the smaller, lesser-known (and less crowded!) Carter Caves.

We used to camp in this:



...but in a serious lack of judgement, I agreed to let Jeff trade it with his brother for a motorcycle. So, instead, we'll be camping in this:



...only smaller, and older, and cheaper.

I've decided to try sleeping on Sassy's crib mattress, because I'm a wuss, and I don't sleep well on the ground. What I will do when all of our modern conveniences are ripped away from us (which will surely happen one day in a massive disaster), I don't know. But, until then, I will sleep in luxury on my little crib mattress, with half my legs hanging off the end, and probably half my body hanging off the side, since Sassyfrass somehow commandeers the entire bed in the middle of the night with her tiny 3-year-old body.

Will post upon return!
