West Virginia Vacation









Michael Simone and I took a trip to WV with my dad for a family reunion. Family reunion pictures will follow as they are still being processed. On our no family activities day, Michael Simone and I travelled to the New River Gorge Nat'l Park. This was about 1 hour from where our reunion was taking place. The picture right above is the 2nd largest (highest) bridge in the United States. We took a tram ride (pic above) down to the bottom of the gorge and then took a jet boat ride right up to the bottom of the bridge. It was beautiful. God gave us a beautiful day. 78 degrees. We stopped by hawks nest...another park and observed the beauty there. At the end of the day we went to a wonderful open aired restaurant called Smokey's on the Gorge. It was an elegant buffet and we stuffed ourselved to the gill. The family reunion was wonderful, meeting some family I'd never met before and seeing some that I hadn't seen in 10 years or so. Simone enjoyed meeting 2nd cousins and playing with them in the hotel swimming pool in the evening. I think the pool was her favorite part. Lest you think I forgot River, he stayed home with family and friends. It was a wonderful vacation!
