Anyway - we found the Harned cemetery. My great, great, great and more great grandparents are buried here.

Off we went to Abraham Lincoln's birthplace for a little history, as well as more stamps for Bailey's National Park Service Passport book.

Also at this site is the Sinking Spring, which was the water source which made the Lincoln's decide to build at this site in the first place. The air was significantly cooler down here, although the humidity did not change.

After leaving the Park, we decided to trek up to Shepardsville to go to the Zappos.com outlet. It was terrible, but someone had to go...Lastly, tonight, we went to the Stephen Foster Story musical at the Old Kentucky Home State Park. Stephen Foster wrote the song My Old Kentucky Home, Oh Susanna, Way Down Upon the Swanee River, and many other songs. Bailey saw her first lighting bugs (fireflies)!
Busy day, but we have to get to sleep. Tomorrow is Mammoth Cave National Park - more stamps and a tour of the caverns, then we drive to St. Louis!
Night ya'll!
