Caitlin and I took a trip about 4 hours away from where we live in Virginia to a little town in the mountains called Luray. It's a quaint little town with a bunch of hotels, a beautiful view, and some very cool restaurants that make everything by hand fresh everyday. It's uncommon where we live, everything is corporatized.
From the hotel.
We at breakfast at the hawksbill diner. It was owned by a husband and wife and was very well priced and one of the best omelette s I've had!
On our way to the hawksbill diner we came across some farmland in Stanley Va so out came the camera.
Afterwords we drove over to the Luray caverns. Outside they have a maze. The maze is kind of a tourist trap, but neat none the less.
It's was an 18inch deep lake that creates a perfect reflection of the ceiling. They call it dream lake.
The frozen waterfall
The shaggy dog. Estimated the oldest formation at 7 million years.
These were my favorite as a kid. The fried eggs!
And on to skyline drive
Hogback mountain is the peak at almost 3500 ft. 20 mile views were insane.
Just an amazing drive with some NASCAR style embankments to get the blood pumping while going over the Shenandoah mountains on hwy 211 into Luray. It's rare to find a town in the U.S. where everyone is friendly, views are awesome and the food is great.
