I love caves, and I love family vacations. Your kids are going to have lots of fond memories with you as a mother!

I love spelunking! It's just the bat guano I step on that I don't like. But the kids love it. Jenny’s last blog post..Australia Rugby World Cup 2008

We haven’t been asked to leave a tour yet, so I guess that’s a good thing!

I don’t know the difference between a cave and a cavern. This one had both stalactites and stalagmites, as well as columns and domes. My kids know more about it than I do.

Is the Mystery Cave like a cavern, with stalagmites? My kids love visiting caverns, especially the ones with gem mining operations. We've also gone onto various mining operations. Herkimer Diamonds and Garnets are available in our area. As for real spelunking, forget it. None of us are fond of narrow openings, into dark and dangerous caves full of bats, spiders, and other creepy crawlies. Some adventures are best left to others!

This reminds me when I went with my daughter, she was two and kept yelling because she liked the echo. They ended up asking us to leave the tour. LOL

We haven’t done a cave, but it sounds like it is something that might be a lot of fun.
