Nick is on a very well deserved Spring Break! He has been working so hard this past semester! He came for a short visit. We went to see Luray Caverns. It was gorgeous! I had never been before and he had not been since he was a young child. I have not been that awestruck by the beauty of nature in awhile. It was an amazing site to see these pictures do not do it justice!
Standing outside the caverns waiting to go in!
A broken stalagmite now has become famous for it's resemblance to fried eggs
Bronzed boots of one of the most dedicated tour guides. Over the course of his work in the caverns he walked the pathways enough times to walk around the Earth twice!
Listening to our audio recording devices which we had to time perfectly to be in sync with each other throughout the tour
I was nervous at first about being in a confined space but when I saw how expansive and amazing the rooms were down there it was nothing but excitement.
By far my favorite part of the caverns! This is called Dream Lake. It is a very shallow lake with a smooth bottom but the reflection from the ceiling is so great it plays with your mind thinking you are looking into a valley of the more stalagmites!
More of God's beautiful creation!
This was another breathtaking spot on the tour. You round a corner bridge looking out over these massive and ornate formations that just are spectacular.
This is from the same view as the last one.
A fallen stalactite! It fell thousands of years ago and has now
become fused to the other formations around it. You can see the flat edge on the right where it was connected to the ceiling.
Yayyyy for blogging :)
