Hi everyone, hope you had a great weekend. Mine was pretty cool. We went to a friend's place and then some shopping followed by a gala Sunday dinner at Ruby Tuesday. Have you been there? I quite like their food (specially coconut shrimp and chicken quesadilla.
This is what I wore this weekend for shopping. Mixing prints are so fun! Tell me your feedback. Do you like this chevron print on floral print?
Now, it's time for #tabloidTuesday.

I have always seen people telling RIP whenever a person dies. I really don't understand the meaning behind this. We really don't know what the heaven is all about. Is that place really peaceful or not? Top of that, we even don't know is the place called heaven after death? or something else?
Anyway, in my case, Rest In Peace means travel with good company. I live to travel, honestly! And, I can compromise on food while travelling,.... literally! I really want to explore all that popular and not so popular places with hand in hand of my husband.
btw...this is what I wore on Day 3 of VA trip !
Jean & Bird print shirt : Rue 21, Wedge : Payless, Watch : Tommy Hilfiger (gifted on my B'day), Bag : Jessica Simpson, Ear ring : J C Penny, Ring : Icing (worn here), Sunglass : c/o Firmoo (worn here)

Welcome to the heaven!! Yes, it is!
On day 2 of our Virginia tour, we visited Shenadoah National Park after Luray.
It was almost 1 hr journey by car from Luray Caves. We planned to enter the park by 5 pm so that we could cover the whole park on the same day. The skyline drive was breathtaking. It was like the cloud's country. If there is anything called heaven, then here it is. If you plan for a East-Coast trip, then make sure to book a day for this treasure.
Fees : It is pretty cheap. You can explore this national park only for $15/car for 7 days! You can do camping, hiking, wild photography and many other activities.
Food to have : You have to pack your own food. Other than this, you can carry/cook something while you are camping.
Best time to visit : Fall! Shenandoah is at its best during fall. If you can't make it that time, then summer is the second best option to visit.
How to go & Places to stay : refer here.

Greetings from Luray Caverns!
Yes, this was the first attraction which we visited in VA. Virginia is place of many cavers, but Luray is best.
Yes, this was the first attraction which we visited in VA. Virginia is place of many cavers, but Luray is best.
Day 2 of our VA trip started with a full course breakfast at McDonalds. McDonalds was the nearby food giant from our hotel ( we stayed at Bultimore Hotel Holiday Inn) and we wanted to finish the breakfast part as soon as possible so that we can have the more of Virginia.
We reached there at around 12 pm and booked the ticket ($24/ head). It was a long queue because of long weekend. But, we were not bored. And, the credit goes to the anonymous musician! Boy, what a musician he is. I was literally thinking of record the music and published it in Youtube.
Point to noted here : You can always book your ticket online, it is always a time saver. But, if you couldn't like us, then you can do what we did. Two of us stood in the queue for Luray Caverns entry, and two of us went to book the tickets. So, it saved time.
Formed with stalactites, stalagmites and columns, Luray Cave is one of the best commercial cave of USA. I was literally spellbound after entering into cave. It was spectacular, Man!
Fish Market (Stalactites deposited and formed like fishes)
Totem Poles (you can see these sculptures when you will walk through the pave-way)
Dream Lake (This is a lake and what you are seeing is the reflection of the above stalactites!)
Pluto's Chasm ( This is the main horizontal column which is 500 ft long)
Saracen's Tent (Stalactites and Stalagmites deposited and formed like a tent here)
Collection of money in Dream lake, where you can throw coins and make a wish. Each year, the donated the collected money to these above organization.
Frozen Mountain (It was formed due to the water dripping through the ceiling since last 1000 years)
Stalacpipe Organ (The most spectacular thing. The wires of this instrument resonate through the sculptures and create some haunting tune)
Foods and Gifts : Luray Cave has it's own food court where you can enjoy sandwich, fries, soups (all in veg and non-veg) and also the beverages. We had Chicken sandwich and nacho with cheesy dip.
Grab a memento from Luray Gift shop. If you want to gift something to your loved ones, then Luray magnet or a show-piece are good choices.
The view around Luray cave is breathtaking. You can enjoy roaming around and have a glimpse through observatory point.
How to go : If you are in East-coast, then you can go Virginia by car like us. It took max 7/8 hours from CT. If you are not, then you can go for gotobus.com or something similar. They offer various tours in and around VA which is affordable and time-saving.
Places to stay : You will find plenty affordable options within few miles like Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, Ramada etc.
Best time to visit : Though the temperature inside cave is 54 degree F(12 degree C) throughout the year, but, best time to visit this attraction is from May to October.
