Luray Caverns

Rebecca and I went to Luray Caverns today, southwest about two hours from Arlington, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was amazing. Certainly a must see in Virginia if you have never been there. The tour is over a mile long and takes about an hour, but it is well worth it. I think we both took hundreds of pictures. Here are a few of the best. Make sure to click on each picture so you can see it even better. This was one of our favorite spots. It looks like there are pieces coming from the ceiling and the floor, but that is not the truth. In reality, a few inches of water lay on the surface of the ground and reflect the ceiling. It is a very cool trick of the eye.
The colors in the cavern were breathtaking.
I can't wait to go again.

National Geographic

Some of my students did a wonderful job on their National Geographic cover and magazine. Some of them almost looked like the real deal.
