Vacationing in Virginia - Day 1

Last week we went on a 5 day trip to tour different areas of Virginia.  On Monday we left at 5:30 AM for a 4 1/2 hour drive to Luray Caverns.

Our guided tour of the cave was so cool and despite the millions of years "facts", was very educational (to my mom's delight).
 One of my favorite locations was Dream Lake.  The few inches of water on the surface made a perfect reflection of the ceiling, creating a beautiful effect!





 The wishing well.



When my family saw the sign below, they said "Hey, there's Kylie".

 When we finished browsing at the gift shop we went through a small car museum.
 Can you see the excitement in my face?  Yeah, I am not a car person but it was interesting to see how cars "evolved" through the years.


After having a few snacks for lunch, we headed out for the scenic Skyline Drive.

 Along the way we spotted some deer, lots of squirrels, 2 bear cubs, and one adult black bear.




 
A short hike concluded our first day in Shenandoah National Park.
