Luray Caverns is the kind of commercial place with billboards popping up with hokey invitations along the interstate that I normally avoid. However, I'd staked it out in advance as a place to stretch our legs a bit, and free Elliott from his carseat, midway on our 9 plus hour drive, so we braved all the signs of classic tourist-trap and forged ahead, undeterred by the massive parking lot with a dozen commercial busses. After purchasing our tickets and being issued our headphones with self-guided tour buttons we entered a long narrow stairway leading about four stories down to the heart of the caverns. I'm not sure where all the people were but we enjoyed an hour plus walk along the brick walkway in relative crowd-free peace.
Look carefully at the next photo. See the perfect reflection in the water?

Super cool! And spooky! Did you make a wish? If so, I hope it comes true.
Those caverns make me want to head to the mountains of Virginia...
