Well, we can cross off another Virginia attraction from our list! Ok, so maybe we don't have a list, but since this is our last summer in Virginia, we thought we should take advantage of the fun things to do here.
This afternoon we went with our friends Cheryl and Ryan Harris on a hike at Crabtree Falls. "Crabtree Falls is the highest vertical-drop cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi River... Crabtree Falls features a series of five major cascades and a number of smaller ones that fall a total distance of 1,200 feet." What was so cool about the hike is that you can see a view of the falls at almost every switch-back. The end of the 2 mile hike to the top had a better view of the Blue Ridge Mountains than of the falls, so we just sat up at the top, took in the view and ate some snacks before heading back down.
It was a fun excursion, and we can't wait to do a few more fun things on the weekends this summer. Next week, Kings Dominion... a true Virginia treasure.

How'd ya get the cool slideshow effect?
How beautiful! I'm glad you are enjoying Virginia while you can.
Kat,
We just upload our photos onto Picasa, make an album with the specific pictures, create a slideshow and then post it like you would a youtube clip in the html section. Does that make sense?
Yes, I think so. I'll try and give it a whirl since it seems easier than having to upload every picture. Thank!
Hey that will definately be on our todo list when we get back. Love the slide.
