The Mountains of West Virginia

I have to admit, WV is one pf the prettiest places I have ever seen! You could sit for hours and just look at the view! However, I also learned that driving up these mountains can be very dangerous and time consuming. I am glad I did it, but I will NEVER do it again. I also got to camp some in western Pennsylvania (did you know that most of Penn. is covered with mountains?) I also spent some time in the Berkshires (mountain range in western Mass.) As I write this, I am in the mountains of North Carolina. NOTHING can compare to the mountains of West Virginia though. I used just about all the cool camping things that the APES gave me during Teacher Appreciation week! I have wanted to camp in WV for a long time, and I finally got to do it!

I camped in an old abandoned homestead in the Appalachian Mountains

This was my view for 4 days

Photos from Mass.

Sheila helps Bridey and Meghan with the latest hairdos!

Do they look like they are from Whoville or what?

Fun in Mass.

We went up in a hot air golf ball. Megan fell out, but she landed in a pile of hay and was OK.

The sun was bright on this day with the Gibbons family

Patrick (Earl swimming in the pool)

Megan was awesome with the dogs

My RV was camped right next to the historic Gibbons Apple Orchards....a must see in New England.

No More Dolls for Us!

Bridey and Megan gave up their dolls and decided that daschunds were much more fun! The dogs actually had a blast end enjoyed it.

The dolls were just thrown to the side
