Vacationing in Virginia - Day 1

Last week we went on a 5 day trip to tour different areas of Virginia.  On Monday we left at 5:30 AM for a 4 1/2 hour drive to Luray Caverns.

Our guided tour of the cave was so cool and despite the millions of years "facts", was very educational (to my mom's delight).
 One of my favorite locations was Dream Lake.  The few inches of water on the surface made a perfect reflection of the ceiling, creating a beautiful effect!





 The wishing well.



When my family saw the sign below, they said "Hey, there's Kylie".

 When we finished browsing at the gift shop we went through a small car museum.
 Can you see the excitement in my face?  Yeah, I am not a car person but it was interesting to see how cars "evolved" through the years.


After having a few snacks for lunch, we headed out for the scenic Skyline Drive.

 Along the way we spotted some deer, lots of squirrels, 2 bear cubs, and one adult black bear.




 
A short hike concluded our first day in Shenandoah National Park.

Camping Trip

 Last weekend we went for a few day vacation with friends.  We had a great time traveling in the motor home listening to music, talking and playing trivia.

The boys had badminton tournaments (bragging rights as the reward).


Below we were reviewing the photos and videos taken the day before at Wayumi (I'll post on that sometime).  Click here to find out more about Wayumi's youth day.

 The guys also brought the volleyball net along to hit the ball around.

I love the look on Dad's face!  This photo completely captures his competitive nature!

Our parents playing Settlers of Catan (a board game).



Playing Scrabble on the iPad.
The guys playing poker (I would like to note that they weren't gambling :)
 We had a great weekend!
