Our time in Virginia (Oct. 2017)

We were not able to spend a ton of time in Virginia as we were pushing a timeline to get us to my mother’s by a certain date. We were able to see a few great things though.

The RV needed an oil change and I found a location on our route. Marc stayed with the RV and Rebecka and I took off in the car. We visited “Natural Bridge State Park”. This was an especially meaningful trip for me. I have a photo under this bridge with my late grandmother and myself. It is not a digital photo and in a box of other photos currently being stored in Texas. When I find it, I will be adding it to this post. Having a photo with my daughter here was on my “Must Do List”.

Virginia has many cavern tours, all equally special. It was hard to choose just one. I decided we would visit “The Grand Caverns”. We really enjoyed the tour and learned so much. If you get an opportunity to visit you will not be disappointed. Bring a jacket though, it was chilly down there.

We squeezed in a trip to the Frontier Culture Museum. This was such an educational place. Definitely check out their website. http://www.frontiermuseum.org/. Just so happened, our visit coincided with Oktoberfest. Such fun!!


Warrior’s Path State Park in Kingston, TN

We stopped in Kingston, TN to visit with Marc’s sister and her family. It was so nice to get the chance to hang out and catch up.

We camped at Warriors’ Path State Park. It was a nice woodsy area. From our site we could see the fishing area of the lake. The whole park was very nice and we will most likely stay here again while visiting the area.

This park has a wonderful 3-acre Playground Complex. I was in awe from the moment I walked in.
We spent a few evening hours there and could easily have spent a few more. The park is design for both children with and without disabilities in mind. My photos do not do this park justice. It was amazing. Worth the stop if you have kids and are passing through the area.
