Mount Vernon Trail

We finally loaded our bikes to take to Kimberly's. We left in plenty of time from Harrisonburg to go on a bike ride. We successfully arrived with no wrong turns and no traffic, first time without looking at the map, miracles do happen. Everything was in our favor. We hit the trail, to what appeared to be a nice long enjoyable bike ride. After about 10 minutes on the trail it started to rain. Rain storms in the east are typically not light. So we took a few quick pictures and loaded the bikes back on the car. As we were driving back to Kimberly's, guess what -- no rain. It wasn't even sprinkling. We'll have to save the bike ride for another time. Kimberly had made Shoo Vampire Soup (garlic soup) very, very good, with toasted pumpkernickle bread shaped like pumpkins. Soooo yummy.

Big Meadows 10-14-08

I absolutely love the Shenandoah's. We went hiking at Big Meadows. So beautiful, the leaves are changing. Alexis' friend Alexis came with use. We were trying to find another waterfall trail and went on a different hike instead. There are so many trails, YEAH!!! I can't wait to try them all.

Oh, yeah!!!

We finally have a couch. Now I can actually work here instead of my bed. Well, I can if I want, my bed is a pretty comfortable place to work too. Alexis, is enjoying having another place to sleep too.

Drifting kayaks

As we were having our picnic, Kimberly noticed they kayaks were starting to drift away. Luckily Alexis' was close enough that she could still reach it. She saved the day. Thanks Alexis.

Kayaking on the Potomac

Can you believe it was warm enough to kayak in the middle of October. I love it! It was in the high 70s all weekend. Fall is becoming my favorite season. The leaves are changing and the weather is so nice. We stopped at these rocks in the middle of the Potomac and had a picnic.

This was also our first successful trip of actually taking the right roads to Kimberly's, YEAH!!!

We've taken every other possible way to and from Kimberly's, we were bound to eventually get it right. I think next weekend we won't even need a map.

I also went to my first actual trial, yes, I do work on weekdays. The trial was six hours long, but it did not feel anywhere near that long. This has been such a great opportunity for my career. I'm learning so much each and every day.
