The Blue Ridge Mountains

Day 3:
Sunday morning we headed over to my Aunt & Uncle's house to say goodbye to some of my family from Pennsylvania who had come up for the wedding. It had been over 10 years since the last time I saw them. I had such a good time visiting with them. After we said our goodbye's, we headed out on our trip through the Blue Ridge Mountains. My grandparents had offered to stay at my Aunt & Uncle's house to watch the girls so that my parents, my aunt & uncle, & Johnathan & I could all go. It was beautiful! It was so hard to even begin to comprehend the beauty. I couldn't help but just sit in awe at the beauty that surrounded us. Words can't even describe what we saw & pictures don't even begin to do it justice. We saw shades of orange, yellow, & red we had never seen before. What a blessed time we had! Here are a few pictures from that day. Enjoy!!

A river we came across when we stopped to get fresh apples. I could have stayed there forever!! And yes, I actually did take that picture!

Johnathan wishing he had his fishing pole.


For dinner that night my Uncle Joe made is "top secret" (wink-wink) ribs & boy were they yummy! After dinner we all went out back & sat around a campfire. It was the most perfect way to end the day. Thanks Darla for the best popcorn we have ever had!!!
