Resting by Visitor Center

As part of our trip back east for BrickFest (the annual LEGO convention held in the Washington, D.C. suburbs; read about it on my LEGO blog, BrickPile) Holly and I are spending a little extra time in the D.C. area. On Saturday we went to Shenandoah National Park.

The main attraction in the park is Skyline Road, which runs along the ridge of the Appalachian Mountains, basically following the Appalachian Trail, for a little over 100 miles. We covered the northern half of it, starting from Front Royal and heading south. After watching the sunset in the park, we left the park via US 33, then took US 29 back to our motel in Fairfax.

Savannah

As part of our recent trip to Charleston, SC, Holly and made a side-trip to Savannah, GA. It's a beautiful city, full of flowers and historic buildings. We spent much of the afternoon strolling around, taking pictures. Here are some of the pictures.

I wrote a blog entry on our family blog with the whole story of our trip. Read it to find out about the rest of our trip.
