This past week, I was complaining to Chris saying, we never do anything different always the same things, go to movie, and go to dinner. SO, we were trying to think of what we could do. We decided to be spontaneous and go to Virgina! I wanted to head to Washington DC, but for just one full day it would have been a long drive, so we decided to make it half way.
We ended up going to a Cavern in DC. We went to the Grand Caverns. It was the 2nd best in the United States. They were so neat! NO two caves are a like and there are many in the U.S It was used as a hide out at times for the Civil War and they also would hold dances and weddings in these Caverns back in the 1700's and 1800's. It was also neat there were signatures on the walls, by people who would go down there but they passed a law in the 1960's that you couldn't do it anymore. One signature we saw was from a captain in the civil war. They did research on the name and he went to battle a month latter near Washington D.C. After a month after he was in the grand cavern's he died in battle. It gets only 58 degrees year around.
We also went to see the Natural Bridge in VA. It is 215 feet below the span of the Bridge. King George III use to own it until Thomas Jefferson bought it in 1774.
We had a great weekend. It is nice to learn about history and go see new places!!
