FAMILY TRIPS!
We packed our stuff and heading over to Austin( TX) for good food, entertainment, and quality family time. With our van packed we heading towards Georgetown to hit the Inner Space Caverns. You end up going down in this awesome cave for a 75 minute guided tour. The boys, my husband and I were all in awe with the whole thing.
We first started with waiting to get on a cart that would take us down underground. Our group was the orange group and once my youngest saw that we were entering a dark hole, he became a bit worried.
My oldest is a ham and this is his concerned face.
He really was excited to enter the cave and check out some bats. You can tell in this picture how excited he was. This is him dancing just seconds from exiting our van to enter.
We totally would have purchased this cool excavating hat...
but it did not include the batteries, which I thought was pretty lame.Well its a federal offense to tamper with anything in the cave, so they were so kind to have a rightly name, "Temptation Rock." Which I am sure you all can tell by the name that its where you can touch with all your delight, without being worried to be put behind bars. You also could easily see how the oils in your hands really ruin the look and growth of the cave. Here is Superbaby working up the nerve to touch it.
We actually saw a few bats in the cave. They were really tiny and super cute. Yes, I love bats and think they are adorable. The guide told us that we were free to take photos of them, but to not use flash since their little eyes were extremely sensitive. My freaking camera wouldn't cooperate with me, so I couldn't take a picture:( BUT, my husband has one on his cellphone so I'll post later.
At one point we were down about 70ft underground- way cool! Plus, they make this tour really cool and interesting for kids too. They have stories for the formations and all. Great way to use your imagination and all.
I would totally recommend to check this place out if you are in the area.
Much love,
Nush
