Caving, Take 2


The second cave tour happened as a result of being frustrated on the way home. The 10 hour drive from NYC was making the children edgy, so we stopped at the Natural Bridge Caverns in VA.

Known as the deepest caves in the east, we were able to take a guided tour through the cavern. It was really neat! Although in one of Megan’s many attempts to ditch her strawberry sandals, Megan threw her shoe into a cave pool. Luckily Ryan was able to fish it out.

The coolest part, was at the deepest point, the tour guide turned the lights off. We couldn’t see our hands in front of our face! He then proceeded to tell us that some people thought the cave was haunted. Those who know me well, know that I did NOT appreciate that juicy little tid-bit of information. We did make it back to the surface alive and with no supernatural sightings. Thank goodness!

Way to go Ryan. You did it. Caves are for the very special people who like to go under the earth.
Send lots of pictures, cause you won't find me there taking any...

Great idea to break up the long drive home with an adventure. If we stayed in VA, we would have visited that place sooner or later. Glad you got the chance to do so!
