 Hey everybody, welcome to the Waldoch Way. I'm Jessica. I'm Emily. And I'm Kevin. And today's video is a learning on location at Shenandoah National Park. So this is the last park on our little mini traveling the parks vacation. So my favorite part of our Shenandoah National Park trip was actually just riding along the Skyline Drive. It's a hundred miles of absolutely gorgeous scenery, especially in the fall. All the colors changing was absolutely beautiful. I will say when we first headed up, it was raining and so the cloud coverage was like right on the road. We were literally driving in the clouds. That part was a little bit scary. Thankfully, Kevin is an amazing driver because I could barely see the road. But once we were able to drive it and actually see, it was gorgeous. We were able to see some of the animals right outside of our window. And along the drive, they have visitor centers while not completely open right now because of COVID. They still had the gift shops open and available so we were able to pick up a few books and games and things like that. And then there's wayside stations, like little service stations where you can pick up a bike to eat. There's plenty of different places you can hike. You can have a picnic, you can watch the sunset with these gorgeous views. It was just so much in that hundred miles right off that main stretch that you could do. It was just beautiful and amazing. Rea Caverns, most definitely. It was a blast. A little bit of a drive. It was about an hour from where we had been staying. We had to fit it in. It was wonderful. When you first pull up, very well disguised. A lot of gift shops, a lot of buildings, big parking lot, doesn't look like there would be a cave anywhere in sight. And then you go inside, they give you your maps and you can look around a little bit of the history of when the Caverns were discovered and other stuff to expect while you're there. And then we entered through a long hallway and it was breathtaking. What do you think? It was so awesome. There were lots of weird stalagmites and stalactites. Yes, they were. And huge columns. I'm talking about large columns. I've only been in one other cave in my life and it doesn't even, it doesn't hold a candle to it. This one we took picture after picture after picture. Everywhere you turn was a new view. It was amazing. I thought so too. There are so many really cool things to look at and we saw some fallen stalagmites. Oh yeah, the big column that had fallen? Yeah. That was crazy. Yeah, they just laying down. And remember when I asked you what did that fall or was that originally there? And you said, yes, it fell. Oh, you could tell where it came out of the roof of the cave and it had laid down where it'd fallen. It was only one that had fallen, but there was also that big old pool. You remember the big old pool of water? Yeah, and that lady gave me a coin so I could throw one in and make a wish. Yeah, there was quite a bit of money in there. It'll remind me of Disney World. Yeah. Which one is that that comes from the bottom, Emily? And the ones that come from the top and the small ones from the top? They're called straws. And the little tiny thin ones?
