Virginia in the Fall

It is so pretty here when all the leaves change. We went camping in the Shenandoah National Park with Corey and Jill over the weekend and it was so fun! Even though we had to drive in the fog, and even though we got drenched from a sudden downpour and got cold during the night because we chose to buy the cheap sleeping bags at Wal-mart--not a good idea. But we had so much fun being away from the city for a few days.
















We went on a hike Saturday to the Doyles River Falls. They were pretty, nothing spectacular due to the drought in Virginia, but still pretty. We all realized how out of shape we are. The hike started off downhill (we started at the top of the mountain) so that wasn't too bad, but the trek back to the car was pretty gruesome- or so we thought. Lots of breaks for drinks and pictures made it endurable. We went right back to the tents and took a nap. The trip was short but so worth it.
