Virginia

We went to Virginia to visit Harry's son Marty. We had alot of fun with them playing with our grandchildren and celebrating an early 4rth of July. We passed around a flu bug and visited the Star. While we were on the Star we tried to get family members to see us on the webb, but no one was home when we tried to reach them with the news that they could see us on the mountain via the Star Cam. We visited parks, and went for walks. It stormed quite a bit while we were there, which is why the country side is so beautiful and green. We even sat on their porch and watched the rain pour down on the country sideWe went with them to the church where they serve, and enjoyed a wonderful service there. Marty and Patsy were so good with their lesson for the children's church service. He has several disquises that he uses and he used the disquise of Ogg a caveman from a prehistoric era. Superheroes trivia games accompanied the lesson.

The Star Cam was really a tourist site in which to view the city. It sits on a high mountain with a platform below in which to stand that is seen with the webb cam on the Star. It lights up at night in patriotic colors. We could see Marty's church which sits on a mountain on the right of the city.

The thing we enjoyed most about visiting was playing with our grandchildren and visiting with our kids. We enjoyed playing with the little ones, who banged on our bedroom door expecting to see their parents and when surprised by us, went screaming into the living room. We had to redirect them to the room that their parents were sleeping in. I was saddened that they couldn't climb up in our bed with us and snuggle, we would have really enjoyed the time with them. I was able to rock Chaise to sleep one wonderful afternoon while singing to him.

Marty took our picture laying in his hammock. That was really intertaining as the grandchildren came and pushed us a little. Nearby we were told was a rope in which we could easily rock ourselves if we wished. There where the gentle peaceful breezes blew and the fragrant blossoms bloomed we shared a Kodak moment in time.

We drove through the Shannondoah Skyway stopping along the way to view the countryside. So much to see, so beautiful.
