Spending a few days at Florida Caverns, 12/29 and 12/30

We decided to visit Florida Caverns in Marianna, Florida on 12/29 and 12/30. Thursday 12/29 was also a landmark day for us, we made it back to Florida with our camper. We even acted like tourists and stopped at the Florida Welcome Station and got our free orange juice. It was nice to be back in our state even though the trip was coming to an end.
The campground is very nice, if not raining and was almost full the nights we stayed. If you ever go, make reservations and try to get site 30. A very big site and easy to back in. The only problem would be if it rained as the sites are hard packed dirt and you would be walking in mud. Our good friends, Lee and Dorothy came over from Tallahassee on Friday for lunch and a tour of the cave. The cave has dazzling formations of limestone stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws, flowstones and draperies.  It was a nice 45 minute tour and we had a good time. We are so glad ,we got to spend time with our long time friends. It was Dorothy's first time in a cavern and she also got to see a small bat, another first. I think she had a good time!
