I love daisies. We saw a lot of different flowers and foliage on our afternoon walk. We’ve been wanting to check out the Sunrise Carriage Trail for a while now as a couple people have suggested it. After an online search I learned that this trail was constructed in ” 1905 by former Governor … [Read more…]
As fun thing for our family to do together we decided to join the ‘painting rocks movement’. We thought it would be fun to paint rocks and leave them in places for others to find. And since we are a traveling family we thought it would be a lot of fun to leave … [Read more…]
I have really been wanting to go camping lately. I love camping. Unfortunately, the other members of my family aren’t feeling right now- especially with this’heat wave’. Yep, it’s summer here in West Virginia. It’s in the 90s this week with a ‘real feel’ over 100. So, no one wants to camp (even though it … [Read more…]
I am enjoying West Virginia. This morning we are headed out to see a 4th of July parade in a near-by town. I have loved passing the towns and seeing their decorations out. This was one big Independence Day Parade. An hour and a half of non stop parade. We have a whole bag … [Read more…]

That’s quite the novelty for a couple of South Carolinians that have no coal mining experience. The tour when we first arrived was full and they actually gave us a discount to join … [Read more…]
We headed about an hour and a half away to visit the New River Gorge Bridge. It was built in 1977 and, at one time, was the longest arch bridge in the world. Today, it is the second largest arch bridge in the world. Pretty neat, right? Our first stop was the New River … [Read more…]
I think I’m falling in love with West Virginia. I work the last three days (my 12-hour shifts) and every morning I get to see the mountains on the way to work. When I complete my work day and head back home I get to see the mountains on my drive. When I look out … [Read more…]
Hawks Nest state park A few days ago we took a little trip to Hawks Nest State Park. It’s about an hour a way from us and the road we traveled along a scenic highway. I enjoyed seeing the towns with homes nestled in the ‘hollers’ with the mountains in the background. West Virginia … [Read more…]
Yesterday I had the opportunity to connect with one of my friends from home- Brandy. Brandy started working on my ‘home unit’ when I was out on maternity leave after I had my youngest daughter, Juliette. Well, apparently while I was still out on leave someone saw Brandy at work and congratulated her. She’s like, … [Read more…]
