Sunday Outing....

This past Sunday was a beautiful Spring day. We decided to take Micah out and to Grandview Park. Well apparently everyone in the Beckley area decided to do the same exact thing with their children. When we arrived you could barely find a parking spot. We talked it over and decided not to stay there. As we talked we tried to think of places in WV that we had not photographed yet. Scott mentioned Bluestone Dam and Sandstone Falls, so we were off, towards Hinton.


Thankfully there really wasn't anyone at the Dam so I could get some really good pictures without having to fight around people. Also, the falls really weren't that crowded either, just another jewel stuck away in WV!


While walking at the Falls I came across this really neat tree.... people have engraved their names or initials all over it. Neat huh?

On our way home I decided I had better call my Aunt and cousin so we could stop by. She would have killed me if she knew I drive right past her house without stopping, hehe. Micah had a good time watching their dog, Abby, chase the ball.


I was also able to get a few good pictures of Joy's flowers that have sprouted up already! YAY for spring.

Almost Heaven.....

West Virginia!

Scott and I have been going around our beautiful state and taking some great pictures at the parks. While I was pregnant we went to Grandview National Park and Little Beaver State Park on a chilly day to take some pictures. (The same day my cousin had her baby Lucas)

Since it is staying pretty here in October we decided to go to the New River Bridge and take some pictures. Before this bridge was built it took 40 minutes to an hour to drive down the gorge and back up, now that time has been cut to 40 seconds. The bridge is the highest vehicular bridge in the Americas, and second-highest in the world. It's beautiful during any time of the year. I can't wait to go back and take more pictures while the leaves are changing.
