Luray Caverns

This morning we completed touring the attractions in Natural Bridge, VA. Those included the toy museum, the wax museum and the wax museum factory. We toured for just over an hour and then left town around 11:30am.

Once again, the sun was nowhere to be seen but luckily we stayed dry, albeit a little too cool, throughout the ride. With a couple of stops along the way, we traveled to Luray, VA to tour the Luray Caverns. The caverns are an underground collection of amazing rock formations formed over the past several million years. Each tour participant was equipped with a headset that provided details of what we saw.

Before finding a hotel, Jim and I visited the adjacent Car and Carriage Caravan Museum. Once we finished that tour we settled on a local Days Inn, which of course, did not have a working pool although the outdoor one would have been opened on our request.

Our original plan was to stay in Winchester but the weather wasn't getting better and it was already late into the evening.
