An Exciting Start to Our Adventure

Hey, it's Sam! Today, I'm taking over the blog to talk about the mini-vacation I took my little family on. We woke up Saturday morning, excited for our mini adventure! We were already packed and ready to go, so once we got on the road, we drove the two hours to Crystal Cave in Spring Valley, Wisconsin.

Arrival and Anticipation

Upon arriving, we discovered that we had to wait about a half-hour before the tour began. This brief interlude only added to our anticipation. The kids and I eagerly waited for our tour to be called, and as soon as it was, we headed to the lowest level of the building. The tour guide gave the typical do's and don'ts, ensuring everyone knew what to expect. Then, we were on our way down to the cave!

The hour-long tour of Crystal Cave was a remarkable experience. Our tour guide managed to keep it interesting and engaging throughout. The unique geological formations within the cave left us in awe. Stalactites and stalagmites created an almost magical ambiance, captivating both the children and adults alike.
