Celebrating 10 Wonderful Years!!!

Dennis and I just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary, and we were able to plan and go on a weekend trip (our first ever since kids) out to western Virginia along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We had a great time and came home refreshed and renewed! We stayed at Peaks of the Otter Lodge along the parkway, and explored towns and attractions up and down the parkway from there. We hiked on one of the peaks near where we stayed (called Sharp Top peak) and even saw a black bear. The elevation was about 3900 feet. It was quite a hike! We also explored the city of Roanoke, Mabry's Mill in Meadows of Dan, and Waynesboro.

The kids had a great weekend having their Granni & Gramps all to themselves. Leah was so excited to see us leave, she said, "I want to say good-bye to you, mommy!" (meaning, I want you to leave) Of course, they were glad to have us back by the time we got home :)
