Ramada Harrisonburg

... were there in September, but I think beauty could be found any month of the year in this general area.
As far as Massanutten is concerned, it just depends on what you're looking for in a vacation. There is skiing, skateboarding and swimming. Children will probably enjoy the indoor water park. There are daily activities as well, all for a fee. We didn't take advantage of any of this, since it didn't interest us. We did spend several hours listening to a timeshare sales pitch ...

We had spent the night at the Hampton Inn off of I-81 (http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/hot els/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=DBLVAHX). Our destination today was the Natural Bridge (http://www.naturalbridgeva.com/), and within 90 minutes we reached our destination.

Considering that the only natural bridge ...

... a bit difficult for their little legs to ride up and down the mountain trails.  We also needed to eat lunch and head out since we are aiming to arrive at our Black Mountain home by tonight.  Can't wait to be in a non-movable home for at least a few days.  Then we head back to the road.  This is one long summer vacation.  Can't complain though.  Got to see lots of different and amazing sites with my beautiful family.  :0)  Damaris

We got into Virginia in the afternoon and decided that we should get something to eat so we stopped at a Subway and got one of those $5 footlong deals for both of us and one pop to share.

Then we got off of I-64 near I-81 onto SR-42 and started wandering in a northerly direction toward Harrisonburg, VA. This was a really pretty drive especially when we came along the Cowpasture River as it is really heavily wooded but very scenic.

When we got ...

... and lungs acting up. But we took lots of pretty pictures of the water and the gnarled tree roots and the many layers of mountains. We played peekaboo with dozens of deer, the most domesticated I've ever seen outside of captivity. We startled a rabbit in the underbrush by the side of the road. We even encountered some ...

Sandi's mom Pam and her husband John, grandma Doccie, Aunt Pat and Uncle Bob, brothers Robbie and John Sanford, sister and brother-in-law Kelly and Ken, and niece and nephew Lynn and Steven. Brad's mom and dad Pete and Sandra, brother Aaron ...

I woke up and was surprised to see that it was -31 degrees Celsius. Amazingly, my car did start. Love those Hondas!! I then strapped the bike down in the trailer, loaded the many bags into my car, and got underway at 9:00 am. After an hour or so I arrived at the US border at the Thousand Islands and was given the third degree by a very abrupt female official. She wanted to know where I was going, why, how long, what is my son's status, how much money I have with me, looked at the ...

I came home 2 weeks ago and the trip all feels like a dream now. The night before my (2nd) flight home I stayed in a pretty terrifying apartment building a few blocks northwest of MBK. The night was spent slamming back coffees at a local internet cafe talking to a couple dudes who were traveling the world over for their 3rd time. Around 5 I grabbed a cab to the airport and I was on my way ...

... an hour south). I killed time and saw the movie Babel (a ***** movie I must say with Japanese girls showing off their goods). Then Jesse, Laura and Lindsay came and picked me up. I stayed the weekend in Harrisonburg at Jesse's place with her college roomates. It was a taste of college life. I was taken to the greatest place in the world. D-Hall!!! D-Hall is like Pizza hut all you ...
