Skyline Chili - oops, I mean Skyline Drive. We took a beautiful and peaceful drive down the Skyline Drive in the Appalachian Mountians and Shenandoah Valley. We took advantage of many of the turn-outs to take lots of pictures. About a third of the way through the 105 mile drive we veered off to take a short excursion to Luray Caverns. But before we could enter the caverns, we had to conquer the Garden Maze. We divided into teams to determine our maze skills. Aunt Becky and Jessica handily beat team Katie and Aunt Amy. Our detecting skills cannot be beat! It was then off to the caverns where we spent an entertaining hour walking through an active cavern - we even got to listen to a organ made out of formations in the cavern = it was fabulous. Each of us was "dripped" on in the cavern. These drips are called Cave Kisses and are said to bring a year's worth of good luck. We are one lucky group!
After a quick snack and a Slurpee - you have to LOVE Va., we returned to the Skyline Drive to take more pictures and enjoy the sounds of the Shenendoah Valley. On our drive we saw many deer, ground hogs and even a black bear! It is very unusual to spot a Black Bear - our luck continues.
It was then off to Jimmy Johns and swiming to round off a great day.
