We woke up to an overcast, rainy day yesterday and decided to take a road trip and explore a place where the outdoor weather didn't matter -
Luray Caverns (
http://www.luraycaverns.com/). This place is about two hours from DC and has some of the most spectacular stalactites and stalagmites anywhere in the world. It's a self-guided walking tour and takes about an hour. Our favorite spot was a reflecting pool - they call it a lake - where the water, at it's deepest, is 18". The water provides a perfect mirror image of the stalactites hanging above - the whole thing is a mirage - see the pic. It's pretty cool.
Anyway, the rainy day turned into a good reason for an adventure. We're always looking for new finds here in town and when we travel. For example, the best Chinese food you'll ever find is in a total dive called House of
Nanking in San Francisco. If you have any good hole-in-the-wall sites to see, restaurants to eat at, or places to visit, let us know.

We just saw this place on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives in Northwest DC. http://www.cometpingpong.com/
