Luray Caverns

Cody worked Saturday, so he got Monday off. Kjersti and Eli were out of school, so we decided to make the most of it with a two hour drive southwest to Luray Caverns in Virginia. Equipped for the self-guided tour (i.e. headphones and player), we set out to take a look at this very interesting place.

Eli was certain he heard something about Power Rangers living in the caverns on the self-guided tour.

Feeling mostly certain there was nothing living in the cavern that would come out and scare her, Kjersti none the less, kept a sharp eye out for anything suspicious. Eli started getting bored since no Power Ranger had yet come out to greet him.

Kjersti tried to convince us here that she was a stalagmite, but Eli didn't buy it claiming that stalagmites don't have headphones.

The challenge with carrrying a baby around a cave that likes to suck on it's socks is that about every two or three minutes, she decides that the sock has lost it's flavor and then discards it somewhere in the cave. As a dad, if you don't bring your "A Game" that day, you can pretty much count on losing two socks. In case you were wondering, none of Eve socks became permenant residents of Luray Caverns that day. A point in which Cody seems to take great pride.

What a fun adventure! My kids love caves and all the formations. Plus, it's so cool when Dad can come.
