Looonnnng road trip update!

Yes, it has been a LONG trip, but a great one.  Just a few more days left.  I had intended to update with pictures every day along the way, but have found myself exhausted by the time we get the kids to sleep in the evenings.  So, alas, here are many days worth of activities all jumbled into one post.

When we left St. Louis on the 5th, we headed to Kentucky, where we spent the morning exploring Mammoth Cave, a really neat large national park.  No pics from the caves, unfortunately, as there were lots of rules about cameras, bags, and other stuff that we weren't allowed to bring with us.  Then we headed further east to tour the Wild Turkey Bourbon Distillery, on Aaron's behalf.  The tour was short and sweet, and the kids liked to pose on the turkey out front, so fun was had by all.



We then headed to West Virginia, but nothing notable happened there, so we'll move on to Alexandria, VA, where we had the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner on Friday evening.  Kai and Pla Shee were looking especially handsome.  :)

Saturday morning Aaron took the boys to see the Dalai Lama in Washington, DC, on the steps of the Capitol building.

After the wedding we headed to North Carolina, where we encountered a crapatorium called "South of the Border" in  North Carolina.
