Natural Bridge Caverns

The bridge on the outside of the cave..where the name came from

If you are ever in the San Antonio area and looking for something to do, I highly recommend checking out the Natural Bridge Caverns. I took the kids (Salem + Andrew) there on Monday, and it was well worth it. I have to admit that I was skeptical at first...Caverns in New Braunfels, Texas, PLEASE! However, they were great and just as good as others I've seen in Utah and Colorado. If you have little ones, the only way to do it is with a hiker carrier..and that was even challenging. At some points, Andrew almost had to be on all floors to get through the low ceilings.



Salem, on the other, didn't much care for it. I think the darkness of it all, along with the rythem of Andrew carrying her, made her tired and she crashed out in the end game. Can't blame the poor kid. If I was as lucky to have someone lug me around like that, I would have fallen asleep too.

The Fern...only living thing inside the cave.


Bat dookie!







The best part about the whole experience was getting there right when they opened at 9:00 AM. We had our very own private tour and as we were leaving, lines of school buses were pulling in. I would have probably jumped over the 100 ft. railing in the cave and killed myself if I had to deal with a butt load of kids. Yikes!
