Jackson's Birthday at Mammoth Cave

To celebrate Jackson's birthday this year, we headed down to Kentucky to visit Mammoth Cave National Park. We headed down the night before to stay in a hotel and swim in the pool, but didn't get to swim because of COVID restrictions. 

The next day was a beautiful fall day so we were able to enjoy the park above and underground. We weren't able to see all of the cave, but enjoyed the parts we saw.

There are ruins of an old tuberculosis hospital inside the cave, which was super interesting. Apparently, the idea in the 1800s was that the air inside the cave had healing properties, but the positive effects were short-lived, so the hospital was abandoned.

 After our cave tour, we headed to a Mexican restaurant for lunch and headed home.
