After house-hunting in the morning, we headed out to Luray, Virginia to see the caverns (this was one of the few things Ethan asked to do over the summer). It was an absolutely beautiful day! The trip there took about twice as long as it should have (I was "resting my eyes" and we accidentally missed our exit, lunch stop, a nice encounter with a police officer-Sean had expired safety inspection tags on his car, etc) and once we got there, it was PACKED! I never knew Luray Caverns was such a tourist hot-spot, but there were cars and people everywhere! We waited in line for about 40 minutes, but it was worth it.
I was there about a year and a half ago, and they have changed it since then. Before, there were guided tours by employees... now, they give you headphones before you go down, and throughout the caverns are signs with different numbers that you punch into the headset to hear about that particular portion of the cavern (they even have two different options-the kid option or the adult option... the kid option was MUCH more fun and exciting!).
It was so fun watching Ethan in totally fascination at all of the different formations!
