Random Vacation Pics That Aren't All Family

My old high school friend Eric always wanted a sports team called The Nads, so that the crowd could yell "Go Nads!" during games. This was one of his many running jokes all through high school. Yeah, he was kind of a dork.

Well, now Eric has season tickets to the Washington Nationals, affectionately known as the Nats.

Sure enough, the crowd yelled "Go Nats!" all night long. Eric seems very pleased with himself.

At Luray Caverns, I was trying to avoid using the flash but had to use such a long shutter speed that it was hard not taking blurry pictures. This one came out cool, though, in an area of the cave they call Wonderland. The formations on the floor are not really on the floor...the floor is a smooth lake, showing the reflection of the ceiling:

I tried to take some pictures of the family at overlook points in the Shenandoahs, but they were in no mood for tourism. This is the only shot I got, while they all complained that the sun was in their eyes. When we got back in the car, I said, "That was a very Chevy Chase moment", and Gina said, "Yes it was."
