Indiana/Kentucky Road Trip: Day 3

 We awoke bright and early on day 3 because that is how our kids like to do things.  It ended up working out okay, since we had plenty of time to pack up our belongings and head to the car.  The plan was to spend the morning riding rides in Holiday World and then when the water park opened mid-morning, we would head that way and get some swimming in. Afterward, the kids would nap during our shortish drive to Louisville, KY.

This is the only picture I have from our second day at Holiday World.  We mostly spent it revisiting the favorite rides from day 1.  This picture, though, cracks me up because the sign on the ride said, "Guests 5'7" and under will ride most comfortably".  Jason is a whole foot taller than that but there were no complaints from him.  The kids enjoyed a couple slides in the waterpark, a trip to the wave pool, and then after lunch it got really hot and crowded really quickly.




We took that opportunity to head out.  Assuming we'd have a relatively quiet ride to KY since both kids were exhausted from the previous couple of days we set out.  Neither kid slept!  And one kid, in particular, cried and crabbed much of the way.  We were a little frazzled by the time we pulled up to our Louisville hotel.  But, man, we were in for a surprise!  We got upgraded to an executive suite that had multiple rooms and overlooked the river.  Henry was in heaven watching all the water (and road) traffic from our hotel window.

Jason and Amelia set out on foot to find some dinner and Henry and I decided to make the trek over to the pool.  We took a few pit stops to get better looks at the boats going by.

And that night (in his own room no less!), he slept like a champ.  His room was so quiet and windowless and he was beat!  He may have even slept in a little bit.  If it was up to me, I would have cancelled the rest of the trip and just stayed in that room chillaxing.
