Tuesday, May 5, 2009 - O Shenandoah...
I'm back.
You probably didn't notice I was gone. But I was, spending the weekend in Luray Virginia. That's Luray as in Loo Ray, not Luh Ray. ;)
We've had a million different events going on this spring/summer in our family. Big birthdays (which reminds me, go to http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/lilacs to wish my mom a happy belated 50th! It was on the 21st, which is also my 3 year blog anniversary), graduations, etc...so we decided rather than getting the whole family together for parties every week (almost), we'd just turn it into one big event.
So said event took place in the mountains of Virginia.
I like Virginia a lot. My mom used to have this

on our refrigerator for years, and I especially like the part about one's mother side, since, I guess that means I'm a Virginian as my mom is from there. Her family lives there. I suspect I'll eventually settle in Virginia. I'll be living there during the school year anyhow, starting this August, as I'm going to be attending Patrick Henry College.
I tend to like the valley land in VA. I like the mountains fine. But I'd rather live on a farm than in the forest.

We did stay up in the forest, though, in a pretty little cabin. We didn't do much staying inside of it, though...




Of course, with our family, a trip isn't anything without food. My sister is my new hero after she made us breakfast.


We visited Luray Caverns...isn't it ironic we go up the mountains so we can go underground?


(by the way, that's a lake on the bottom with the reflection...)




My cake was a mess.



And that is a very brief glimpse into our weekend. :-)

Gorgeous views! And I want that cabin. You can even stay and keep your feet propped up. LOL!
How did the cake taste? 'Cause I'm likin' the way that oozy chocolate looks! *slurps*
