The Natural Bridge

We celebrated the last days of May (and Memorial Day, of course) visiting the Natural Bridge.  After passing through its enormity and being amazed at its history and physical scale, we continued up the Cedar Creek Trail learning about the Monacan people, pursuing butterflies, spotting a snake, and enjoying the cool shaded spots on our way to Lace Falls.
On our way home we ventured into the caverns nearby (in spite of A's initial warnings as we followed our tour guide in that "this [was] too spooky"), we drove through a couple small college towns on the way home, stopped at Wendy's for Frosties, and we made it home in time to get back into the swing of our normal routine with a Family Night.
