Shenandoah Mountains and Luray Caverns

We woke up to an overcast and rainy day.  We relaxed for a little bit in the morning and then we joined Megan and Beckham in her car to drive to Luray Caverns.  Ryan and Cooper took the other car.  The road took us over the Shenandoah Mountains, and it was a good thing that Jeffrey and I had taken Dramamine, because that is one winding road!  There were still some fall colors in the mountains, but it was hard to enjoy them when I was trying to focus on not getting sick.  It rained the whole way.  We arrived at Luray Caverns just as they opened, so we were among the first to get tickets and go inside.  We followed a paved trail through the various caves, and we were very impressed.  One of my favorite spots was the reflecting pool called Dream Lake where the water below the stalactites was so calm that it created a perfect mirror image of the ceiling.  Other amazing features included Giant's Hall with Pluto's Ghost, Saracen's Tent, and the Great Stalacpipe Organ.  We stayed for a couple of hours, and we also walked through the Car and Carriage Museum next door.  We drove home, and Megan took a less winding road which helped me and Jeffrey.  That was a great experience.
