We decided to go to Staunton- no phones, no computer just some peace and quiet.
Joel was able to get home a little early on Friday so we hit the road and headed off to some fun.
Saturday was going to be a beautiful day so we headed for the Luray Caverns. I knew it was going to be cooler in the caverns so I was pretty excited. It turned out to be such a hot day! Sure enough the caverns were not as cool as I had hoped but we sure did have a lot of fun.
We were given head pieces to listen to the history of the caverns which was really neat and unexpected. It was a popular day to go the place was packed which was good for me cause we could take our time or in my case a breather after walking up a few hills.
Here was the favorite fried eggs in the cave. When you looked at it, it really did look like eggs. The kids loved it.
After the caves we went through a car museum.
They also had a garden maze but it was wayyy too hot to stand outside and get lost in some bushes, so we opted out of it. They had little gift shops and a restaurant but Joel and I spotted our favorite which was a local that was making BBQ :) We headed back to the hotel but decided to take the scenic route which turned out to be a long drive behind people that wanted to look and drive slower than a turtle uhhh pure torture!
Once we got to the hotel we hit the pool and we got it all to ourselves which was perfect!
Dinner was the icing on the cake ~ We went through the restaurant listing and a few caught our eyes but one in particular that had been rated extremely well was the one we went for. The Mill St. Grill was super popular & even though we did have to wait for a while it was well worth it. I had crab stuffed salmon and Joel had a rib platter that he raved over.
Sunday morning I really didn't want to go. The emphasis on a short vacation was true, so after a lot of prodding :) Joel and I headed back home.
