Excuse to embed video like the cool kids are doing.
On our summer-road-trip-travaganza, Matt and I had big plans to hit West Virginia.
Why? Mostly because they have apple butter and banjos. Plus, a wee Di once lived in the town of Hurricane ("Hurruh-kun", not "Hurry-cane") with my toddler-years best friend named Reber.
Mom said, "When you come back down from those mountains, your car'll be falling apart."
Dad said, "It's a pain in the ass gettin' up in there."
He suggested taking I-81 instead, a Virginian pathway frequented by truckers, and stopping at the Luray Caverns, a place that stirred up boyhood memories of awesomeness and wonder.
Wonder, indeed!
They also have an antique auto museum (free admisson!!):
And a maze (The answer to the riddle is "A-maze-ing movies"! Har!):
Yet, as much as I wish I was being sarcastic, Luray Caverns rawks. Seriously. They have beer at the Stalactite Cafe and ViewMasters in the gift shop. Everyone who visits is a bit of a dork, from awkward pre-pubescent boys and girls giving gleaming (see also: orthodontic treatment) grins in front of the Stalacpipe Organ...
...to twenty-something lovebirds using cheat tactics in a garden maze and conversing about constructing a 3-D display from handy objects around the home.
