Mini vacation...

This weekend the kids and I and my Mom had a chance to take a mini vacation...

We headed to Virginia for a quick trip to visit my sister and her family.  It was great to be able to sleep in, look at other people working on their farms as we drove by, hear my brother in law preach, sleep in again, and spend time with family.  We would have loved to have him along, but Jim stayed home to hold down the fort.

Here are a few pictures from our weekend...

 Virginia chickens are just as happy as Pennsylvania chickens...


Today (Sunday) we drove to Reddish Knob, one of the highest points in western Virginia.  It's located on the Virginia - West Virginia state line.  This first picture is looking east into Virginia.  If you use your imagination, you can see Massanutten  peak in the distance in the haze.






Along this ridge you can see the road, which follows the state line.  To the left is West Virginia, and to the right is Virginia...


Looking south at the beautiful mountains...

The weekend has gone by way too fast, but we've had fun with family.  We have enjoyed the chance to relax, and tomorrow we head for home.
