Last Weekend

We're getting ready for vacation, just to the outer banks of NC. Rolf's whole family is going. I haven't been on this annual trip for a long time.

Last weekend we went camping in Canaan Valley, WV where Rolf and Officer Cupcake watched Brianna while my sister, her husband, Brianna's parents, and nephew Russ went white water rafting in the Cheat River Canyon.

What a trip! The rapids were class five, and the rafting trip took about 8 hours. It was wonderful and scary. There was more scary stuff when we got back to camp, 12 hours after we left, to face a violent thunderstorm. We made dinner and huddled under umbrella's and in a too-small screened tent to eat, and then went and huddled in our tiny tent while red lightning and thunder smashed all around us.

We rode home with the top down in the Jeep, looking at the fantastic views of mountain valley's, waterfalls, rivers, rock formations - like Seneca Rock, and the beautiful Allegheny Mountains.
