Today Lucy took a rockin' and wild trip to Natural Bridge, Virginia. Caverns, hiking, two zoos, a wax museum, and dozens of other quirky roadside exhibits made this small town too fun!

How about "Foamhenge," which is kind of like the English Stonehenge, only made of foam?

As the sign says, the Natural Bridge Caverns are the deepest on the East Coast:

Lucy really went wild at the Natural Bridge Safari Park. We took a long, slow trip though the park and fed zebras, llamas, emus, camels, and even bison through Lucy's window. I hope these camels remind their friends to log on to http://www.dealerzgonewild.com/ on April 15!

Legend has it that a young George Washington once scaled the side of the rock and carved his initials into the stone! The land was also owned by Thomas Jefferson. Lucy was unable to drive to the "Rock of Ages," but my daughter and I did hike down, and were sure to catch the evening light and music show, the Drama of Creation. What a trip! A reading of the Genesis creation story accompanied by chamber music and a light show on the stone brige. This town is heaven for fans of quirky roadside attractions! |
