Dreams of the Father and Insights of the Daughter

Finding a new relationship built on the foundation of the past, we are moving into the future with anticipation for what will be discovered. Person to person, moving away from preconceived ideas about what this stage of life has to offer, we are open to the experience of each day as a revelation and a gift.

Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park

We had beautiful weather for our day in the mountains. We drove about 65 miles of the 100 mile drive. You could keep going as Skyline Drive becomes the Blue Ridge Parkway eventually.

 Shenandoah National Park is 105 miles long stretching from Front Royal, Virginia to the Waynesboro-Charlottesville area. Skyline Drive is the scenic roadway that takes you through the park. There are four entrances (and exits) to the park.










 In Lexington, VA, we found Halloween decorations at a Garden Center
Lee's Chapel and Museum on the campus of Washington & Lee University



 Natural Bridge is one of the oldest tourist destinations in the United States. The Natural Bridge of Virginia is located in the community of Natural Bridge, which is located in Rockbridge County. 

The Bridge has been included in several "Seven Natural Wonders of the World" lists, mostly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It has been designated a National Historic Landmark, a Virginia Historic Landmark, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. 

Natural Bridge and Niagara Falls were the two wonders of the new world that Europeans visited during the 18th and 19th centuries. Of the two sights, Natural Bridge, without clear explanation of its formation, was the more mysterious. 

Next stop Natural Bridge, VA

Spectacular!



Nature is amazing
