Vacation fun
May 9, 2009
In light of the 3 birthdays (plus Mother's day) this month, we decided to do a family trip instead of having a bajillion parties. I've been wanting to see some caverns, so we chose Luray since it's close, and has 23 acres. Plus it's fun for even the littlest kid, even if they don't understand exactly what it is.
They have headsets so you can do an audio tour at your own pace, with a separate audio description for kids taking the tour. I loved it because we were able to go at our own pace, and the kids totally had a blast.
After the caverns we headed next door to the maze. My feet were killing me, and I hate mazes (since my sense of direction is, like, nil), but I thought the kids would like it. Marissa seemed to enjoy it, and Charlie just kind of wandered around, but Phoebe became pretty pissed about 5 minutes in, since it wasn't easy figuring out where to go. I found it hilarious that she kept insisting we just tell her which way was the "right way."
Tomorrow I think we'll hit the battlegrounds, provided the weather holds up (*crossing my fingers*). I'm so tired from all the walking, I think I'll need a vacation from our vacation.
