Matthew and I spent the Thanksgiving holiday visiting his family in Virginia. We left on Wednesday but ended up staying the night in Charlotte, NC at Emily & Miran's due to a snowstorm that dropped 6" on our final destination. We enjoyed the layover and played games for most of the evening. By the next morning, Thanksgiving, the roads were dry and we were able to arrive at the Hicks' house just in time to eat. I did not take any photos of the feast but did snap this shot of the snow as we were leaving early in the morning on Sunday.
On Friday we visited Grand Caverns, a large cave nearby. Here are Matthew and I in front of one of the formations.
Some draperies.
My favorite feature: a pool of water that reflects the stalactites above and resembles a cityscape.
Walking down into one of the rooms.
A Rainbow display in one of the formations and another reflective pool (sorry for the blurry photo, I was trying no-flash).
Matthew standing by some flowstone.
This cave apparently has the most "shield" features of any cave in the world. This one is called the Bridal Veil for obvious reasons.
One of several verified Civil War soldier signatures found on the walls of the cave.
Other than the trip to the caverns, we mostly spent the weekend inside playing games and visiting. It was too cold out for many outdoor adventures!
