The Mountains

We just got back from a quick weekend trip to Blue Ridge Mountains in Western Virginia. Basically, this is the Shenandoah area of Virginia and very beautiful. We stayed at the Massanuttin Resort, which turned out really well except for the food. You should definitely bring your own food when traveling here because the food situation on the resort is not good. Maybe restaurants in Harrisonburg are better but the restaurants on property are scary.

The condo was very nice and big and the trails, water park, go-kart track and giant arcade were great. I'd go there again. I swear we wore the kids out big time on Saturday but they just kept going and were up again at 7am this morning looking for more. We took the long way back today and stopped at Luray Caverns for a quick tour of the oldest caverns in Virginia. The boys liked it for the first 20 minutes but the hour tour started to drag and we couldn't understand a word the tour guide said. He didn't enunciate anything and it didn't matter if you were 20 feet away or standing right next to him.

Great birthday weekend for Nicole and the we topped it all off with some games on the new wii. I beat Nicole in our first bowling match by 3 points, let the reign begin.

So cool. I miss West VA aka Vacationland! I met my brother and his kids there the year I left DC and we stayed for a week at Canaan Valley resort, which was really good fun as well. Say, if you are back that way, the kids also loved the Cass Historic Railroad in Cass West VA.
