Livy and I set out tonight at 9:30. We only drove for an hour and half, but I wanted to get started today so that we would feel like our adventures had begun.
On the way, we listened to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which I think is an excellent soundtrack to an adventure trip. Caspian and crew are on an adventure to the eastern edge of the world, and we are on an adventure to Kentucky. Pretty much the same, if you ask me, especially since we have a noble, voyaging kind of spirit.
Our trip is called "We Crave Caves" because our destination is Mammoth Caves National Park. We aren't just driving straight there, though. We are going to take in the interesting island stops on the way, just like true Narnians.
Tonight we heard a quote from my dearest Reepicheep himself that seemed a good motto for our adventures. They have found the island where the 3 lords sleep at Aslan's table. Reepicheep declares that he will stay the night at the table, and Eustace asks him why. "Because," said the Mouse, "this is a very great adventure, and no danger seems to me so great as that of knowing when I get back to Narnia that I left a mystery behind me through fear."
