Cave In Rock

We took a Saturday afternoon to drive up to Amish country and enjoy the area and then drove north to the Ohio River to take a ferry across the river and to a place called Cave-in-Rock. It's a pretty cool place. (You can check it out at www.dnr.state.il.us/LANDS/LANDMGT/Parks/R5/CAVEROCK.HTM). It is a cave in the rocks along the river that has been used as a tavern, a hideout for pirates, murderers, robbers and now a state park.



We found a park to let the girls play for awhile.










It's always fun to have green grassy open areas to just run!
And run Rachel does!





We took a ferry across the river. It doesn't take long, so we didn't get out of the car, but the girls did get to get out of their car seats - what more could you ask for? I always get a little nervous riding ferries with a bunch of cars piled on them - who knows what could happen?And on to the cave! We searched for hidden treasure, but just found a lot of "secret messages" aka graffiti.




Another pretty cool place to visit if you ever get the inkling to visit us here in Kentucky!
