We're Back! My entire family spent a week at our Virginia mountain home. My brother Chad and his wife Jen and new baby Jack drove from up up state New York. My sister Jami and her husband Ross and their two children, George who is 8 and Mary who is 5, and my parents all drove from Pennsylvania to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Including my own family there were a total of 13 visiting. We had a wonderful week of fun; the guys played golf several days, the girls went to a berry farm to pick raspberries and blackberries, we tubed down the New River, hiked to a hidden cave, visited my Mom's relatives in Mt. Airy, had a campfire with smores, went to Smoke on the Mountain; Virginia's state bar-b-que competition, and we all ate way too much!

My siblings and I reminisced about childhood vacations and now our own children will one day reminisce about this family vacation. It is so nice to be all together, it has been a long time since we were all together.
