    I have always been one to endure the travel in order to enjoy the destination.

    We finally finished up our vacation trip. Got home tonight about 8:45 PM and everything unpacked. Had a nice surprise when we got here. Our FHC shirts came in...be ready for the next time...guess these pictures will wind it up. We visited 8 states on this trip. Thank YOU JESUS for a safe return.

    Nice pics and sounds like you enjoyed. We have visited the ark and creation museum, very interesting. We love Mayberry and generally make a stop when we get through that area. Of course I have visited the infamous Dennis and Judy estate.

    I would like to know more about this picture.
    [​IMG]

    They deal in toy tractors and equipment? Or the real things? Also shows you the difference in Clmate with in a state. Our black Locas have just gotten their leaves, won't bloom till june in a normal year.

    I have traveled the West Virginia turn pike a few times Seen Blue Field Virgina in the middle of the night fro atop the mountian near by.

    A friend lives in West Virginia and sends me pictures every fall of huge bucks he shoots.
    I keep threating to join him some fall.

    :D Al
