I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Kentucky is a state that’s known for its superlative caves. Between housing the largest underground cave system in the world *and* a mega cavern that boasts the world’s only fully underground zip line, a world of wonder awaits beneath the rolling hills and city streets of the Bluegrass State. And the fun doesn’t stop there, either; each winter, the Louisville Mega Cavern transforms into a veritable winter wonderland during Lights Under Louisville, an epic underground light display in Kentucky. This is one only-in-Kentucky holiday adventure you won’t want to miss!
Every year, something magical happens at the Louisville Mega Cavern. The caves go from this...
...enjoy a ride on the Christmas Express! The cavern is one of just two places in the U.S. offering underground tram tours, and its Christmas Express is a marvelous way to fully experience this wondrous underworld.
The megacavern is a study in superlatives; in addition to this one-of-a-kind underground light display, the Louisville Mega Cavern also has the world's only fully underground zip line.
