Oh Shenandoah!

We took Grandma Ardy to see the Blue Ridge Mountains. They sure live up to their name. The range is nestled in fog making the surrounding peaks always look well...blue.

Laynie's been glued to her daddy's side since we returned to Virginia.

Thought we better get at least one mother-daughter picture.

I'm a little jealous of the owners of this beautiful little ranch. It's nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley.




Skyline Drive is a 150 mile long drive that follows the hugs the mountain range. Since we knew the kids weren't going to look out the window for that long, we picked a rest spot along the road and stopped for potty breaks and treats. I LOVE that it had one pump at the gas station.



We entertained the kids by taking pictures in the back seat.

These are the binoculars that Gav got at the rest stop. He "saw" a black bear, deer, fox, and squirrels through them. Notice that he has them backwards...totally the best way to use them.

I LOVED this tree! How cool is that against the background?

More mountains....if you can call them that. We were a whopping 3,000 feet above sea level.

One more shot of that cool tree.

So beautiful. My Great Grandma Henderson had a home in those hills. It was a neat old white house with wrap around porch...fireflies and snakes though.

Love the fireflies, but not the snakes.
